CREATING LASTING CHANGE
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.
C5 empowers our leaders to recognize their full potential and understand that their path to success is achievable with the right tools, support, and essential skills to guide them along the way.

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.
