WATCH: Future 5 Connects Low Income Students with their Full Potential

Future 5 believes in all the potential of high school students! Founded in 2009 by Clif McFeely this mentoring program believes that all of Stamford CT's high school students should be connected to their full life's potential, regardless of income or family circumstances. They do this by offering motivated students an opportunity for membership in a caring community. A community that helps them connect with themselves and the character traits of optimism, determination, and grit. Future 5 volunteers do whatever it takes to help students stay on track through high school and achieve a plan for college or career training.

Their success directly impacts the high school population, the community at large, as well as the companies that operate in Stamford. This amazing organization stands for "The power of connection," by which they connect each student to the 5C's: Community, Coaches, Colleges, Careers and most importantly to their better Character and why that's so important.

These amazing kids might not have a chance at college if it isn't for the incredible dedication of Future 5... You can help give them the brightest future possible, too, by donating towards this life- changing organization: http://bit.ly/2cg3DMN
