The Chestnut Family Foundation has donated $390,000 to the C5 Georgia Youth Foundation. This gift will support C5 Georgia’s 5-year strategic plan for growth and impact in the metro-Atlanta area. The funds will be used to enhance staff training, develop a new Mental Health and Social and Emotional (SEL) curriculum, provide student participation in the National Outdoor Leadership School and enable C5 to hire additional staff members.
C5 runs a five-year leadership development program for high-potential middle and high school students from under-resourced communities. By developing these young people as leaders, C5 Georgia creates a new generation of leaders ready not only for personal fulfilment but with the tools and motivation to help the communities for which they came.
We are excited to continue supporting the growth of C5 Georgia’s leadership programs.
