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 and are directly related to socioeconomic factors, such as the home situation of the student, the education level of the parent(s), and income levels.
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 would 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 contexts, civic engagement, and college/career-exploration.
As C5 Leaders immerse themselves in outdoor challenges, perform community service, attend weekend pathway events and more they are developing the skills and dispositions required for academic persistence, community impact and success for life.
