About C5 Youth Foundation of Southern California (C5LA)

C5 Youth Foundation of Southern California (C5LA) is a leadership development program. C5LA recruits high-potential youth from under-resourced areas 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 tomorrow’s 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.
