The Center for Creative Education (CCE) is proud to announce that we have formally adopted Ubuntu as our guiding philosophy and value system. Ubuntu, an African concept meaning "I am because we are," reflects a deep commitment to community, compassion, interconnectedness, and interdependence. This historic way of being aligns with CCE's long-standing mission to nurture, uplift, and empower our youth through arts and human services.
Why Ubuntu? At CCE, we recognize that many of our children face profound challenges. Some arrive hungry, feeling sad or disconnected, often due to housing and food insecurity. In response, we sought a philosophy that speaks to the collective strength and healing that a community can provide. Ubuntu is not just an idea—it is a way of life, reminding us that we thrive together by supporting one another. Ubuntu reminds us that the challenges our children face are not theirs alone—they belong to all of us. When one child struggles, we all do.
