Creating Lasting Change

https://youtu.be/n4E9EgQDBtY?si=iuaDDruf-VCtG7wb

The Association of C5 Youth Programs creates lasting change by providing a comprehensive youth development program that instills essential leadership skills, fosters perseverance, provides college access engagements, career exploration opportunities and empowers our leaders to become agents of positive change within their communities.

Support our Programs

Research has shown that the odds of graduating from high school and successfully entering college are heavily influenced by many forces beyond the classroom. 

We believe youth should have equitable opportunities to achieve success regardless of their background, community, or life circumstances.  Become a supporter of C5 today!

THE C5 ROAD MAP

With locations in Georgia, Los Angeles, New England and Texas, we work with more than 1,000 young leaders annually.  Over the course of five years in our program, leaders refine and practice their leadership skills as they immerse themselves in experiential learning, civic engagement, and college/career-exploration.

As C5 Leaders engage themselves in outdoor challenges, perform community service, attend weekend educational sessions and more, they are developing the skills, mindset and character required for academic persistence, community impact and success for life.

“C5 pushed me past my comfort zone in high school, game me the courage to apply to colleges and universities I never thought I had a chance at. Thanks to C5, I am proud to say that I am a First Generation Harvard University graduate.” – Marisela, C5 Class of 2018
