About the Center for Multicultural Cooperation The mission of the Center for Multicultural Cooperation ( CMC ) is to provide quality youth leadership and service experiences that connect generations, cultures and communities. Founded in 1982, CMC has redefined its enrichment programs in the 21st Century to use participatory media as a teaching and communication tool to encourage youth civic engagement and empowerment. Through CMC intergenerational digital storytelling initiatives, young people assist community elders in the creation of short multimedia videos highlighting community history and the contributions of local heroes to community, culture, and country
