C5 Youth Foundation of Southern California
Statement on Diversity, Inclusion & Equity

C5 Youth Foundation of Southern California’s staff, Leaders, partners, and community uphold our commitment to diversity, inclusion & equity, and consider them essential elements of a vibrant environment and fundamental to our organization’s mission.

As an organization who is tasked with changing the odds for high-potential teens from under-resourced communities we are determined to foster an environment of inclusion, diversity, openness, and respect.

We embrace and celebrate the many differences of our Leaders including race, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, socioeconomic status, national origin, immigration status, language, sexual orientation, and disability.

C5 Youth Foundation provides young people with support and opportunity, free of judgement and helps them envision a future worth investing in. And even more importantly, we provide them with the skills and confidence to pursue their dreams.

We support our LGBTQIA+ students and affirm their identities. To that end, rooming assignments will be created based on a student's identified gender. In the future, we will continue to move towards being a more inclusive community.
