2025-2026 activities and events
What took place during the year.
This summary comes from CAP's activity list. Participation figures reflect visits across activities and events, not a count of unique people.
What the activity shows
Frequent recreation became a platform for career exploration, skill-building and service, including intergenerational volunteer work supporting neighborhood food distribution.
CAP objectives
Goals reflected in local activities.
These were the three most common objective tags in the affiliate's 2025-2026 activities and events.
Life skills & prevention
Youth practice decision-making, conflict resolution, communication, coping, money management and positive recreation.
Family communication
Families strengthen trusted communication, consistent guidance, academic monitoring and future-focused support.
College & career readiness
Young people explore careers, training, financial aid, work experience and the pathways that connect learning to goals.
One activity or event may support more than one objective, so these figures should not be added together.
