The CHEETA Project
Contact Information
The Community Hope through Education Empowerment Training and Action (CHEETA) Project is a youth empowerment program of the Portland Housing Authority (PHA) Portland, Maine.
It is a leadership and community building program that was created and developed by the youth who serve as its members & staff. CHEETA started as a series of workshops in summer of 2010 and opened a teen drop-in center for youth 13-18 years old in Riverton Park in 2011. In summer of 2013, the program expanded to Sagamore Village, Kennedy Park, and Front Street with workshops to develop youth leadership opportunities in those neighborhoods.
With the expansion of the program under the auspices of the Portland Housing Authority, the CHEETA project now operates year round through the PHA Study Centers with an emphasis on summer programming & engagement.
