C5 Youth Foundation of Southern California is a five-year leadership development program. C5LA recruits high-potential, under-resourced youth of Los Angeles. The program provides resources, support, opportunities and experiences that enable participants to realize their potential so they may actively seek higher education and grow into tomorrowâs leaders as well as "make a difference" adults. In addition to year-round continuous development, C5LA conducts four summer experiences that develop participants to be character driven, challenge ready, college bound, community focused and committed to a better future.
The first year experience is at Camp Paintrock in Hyattville, Wyoming where in-coming freshmen travel far from home and far out of their comfort zones. At camp students gain new experiences, and learn leadership skills through high adventure activities including, horseback riding, rappelling, camping and aquatic activities. The program was developed to give our students an opportunity to experience the fun, excitement, skills and lifelong memories that come with the "camp experience".
