CPCE is an educational partnership between the Sacramento County Office of Education and the Center for Youth Citizenship.

“Dedicated to creating learning centered cultures where students and staff are inspired, committed and empowered to participate and achieve.”

CPCE's current project, Free to Learn, helps California’s high priority elementary schools make improvements in their student citizenship program which supports their efforts to meet requirements for academic achievement. Using a research-based approach that is sensitive to current demands on instructional time, the project anchors the teaching of character-related behaviors for student growth into the academic program for reading/language arts. In addition, Free to Learn provides the necessary skill-based training and assistance to students and staff in six areas critical to school success.
