Central Alabama Caribbean American Organization is a social organization whose main purpose is to be a resource for students from the Caribbean who have chosen to pursue their education at one of the many universities in central Alabama.
Our goal is to fulfill our mission while sharing the best of Caribbean culture with the local community. Through community events, cultural showcases, and our primary initiative — raising funds to provide higher education scholarships for Caribbean American students — we strive to build a legacy of strength, unity, and excellence.
We believe education is the foundation of a thriving community.
Join us as we celebrate our roots — music, food, and community await.
