Since 1992, our curriculum has evolved, and so has the organization. Originally called WAIT Training, The Center for Relationship Education (CRE) became an educational, nonprofit agency in 2003. Thanks in part to the recognized performance and success of CRE; the organization was awarded five federal grants in 2006 to serve youth, young adults, parents, educators, and leaders in Colorado and throughout the United States. These grants have allowed CRE to broaden its vision, mission and opportunity to provide relationship education and support for every age and stage of life.
