Cultural and Educational
Productions Association (CEPA) is a 501 (c) 3, not-for-profit, organization
founded in 1991. CEPA produces educational programming for children and
families to enhance their well-being diversity. CEPA is committed to assist Latino
children with special needs of low-income families by offering Dolphin-Assisted
