C5 Pathways Events
The long term / 5 year focus is not the only aspect that differentiates C5 from other youth programs. A key component to the C5 program success is our ability to work continuously with our youth. C5 Pathways takes place during the school year and includes:
- A minimum of three curriculum-focused events per year for each class
- Individual youth community service commitment
- Student involvement in extracurricular activity in addition to C5
- On-going staff contact with teens to monitor academic progress and fulfillment of C5 requirements
- Personalized staff support of each student as the need arises
The C5 curriculum is a set of carefully sequenced learning experiences, each presenting specific content, that lead youth to achieve the C5 outcomes. The curriculum is woven throughout each day and activity of the Signature Experiences and is a conspicuous component of each Pathways Event. The curriculum focuses on five areas:
- College and career preparation
- Community action
- Leadership development
- Social awareness
- Personal development
