# About CATS
Creative Arts Trade School (CATS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Georgia, dedicated to empowering youth to pursue careers in the creative arts. CATS provides creative trade school workshops and community events for those in need. Our mission is to provide a supportive environment that fosters creativity, self-expression, and confidence. What sets CATS apart from most organizations is that we coach children to develop their creative skills without worrying about paying for a college education. Having the opportunity to help the youth locally and globally is CATS proudest moment. Summer 2024, CATS donated over 800 backpacks to children in Liberia,West Africa. Plus, we also hosted a soccer tournament and donated uniforms to the children and it changed nature of the community.
