C5 Georgia Applications Open November 1st
The C5 Program was created in 1999 by Coca-Cola Enterprise CEO John Alm. This camp program is a 5-year commitment and allows students to develop skills that prepare them to be global and local leaders in the future communities they will serve. C5 helps students who are often overlooked due to lack of resources, develop personal skills, confidence, and improve self-esteem. The program is intensive yet rewarding for students who are chosen and complete the program. The student and their families must be ready to make the commitment to this amazing program. Your child’s counselor will walk parents and interested students through the entire process.
C5 Selection Process:
Candidates will be identified, via nomination or parent interest. Applications and Letters of Recommendations are then completed. The student is interviewed and will receive an evaluation before a final selection is made. Student must be a current 7th grader to submit an application.
