THE C5 PROGRAM AND C5 ASSOCIATION
There are four independent C5 sites located in major metropolitan areas across the US (Los Angeles, Texas, Georgia and New England). These four C5 programs work together to continually develop curriculum, maintain program quality, and provide mutual support as the Association of C5 Youth Foundations.
While certain program elements may vary by site, each C5 location provides multiple Signature Experiences and Pathways Events designed to take youth through a logical progression of meaningful personal and professional growth opportunities.
Signature Experiences
- Camp Leadership U - one or more sessions of a multi-week residential camp experience where youth learn the basics of leadership in an environment designed to get them out of their comfort zone and into their challenge zone.
- C5 Bridges - a travel/adventure trip designed to challenge the teens to use their newly developed leadership skills in a new environment.
- Coca-Cola Road to College - college tours and career exploration opportunities.
- Medallion Experience - a curriculum-focused group experience to improve skills needed for college success: collaboration, investigation, decision-making, writing and presentation.
C5 Pathways Events take place during the school year
