Carroll Avenue Quebec Terrace Community Center (CAQT)

For more than 30 years, the Carroll Avenue Quebec Terrace Community Center (CAQT) has been providing an afterschool and mentoring program for K-8th graders and their families.  We also provide homework help, academic enrichment activities, character development activities, social/recreation enrichment activities. We focus on mentoring because it has been proven to:
