Future 5 - Connecting Students to Education and Careers in Stamford, CT

Connecting Stamford Students to Their
Full Potential

Dear Future 5 Family,

Future 5 is closely monitoring the on-going situation as it relates to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), and we remain deeply committed to the health and safety of our members, their families, staff, volunteers, community partners, donors and the broader community.

With the closing of the Stamford Public Schools late last week, Future 5 has also closed until at least April 13th. During this time, the entire Future 5 staff will be working to support our current members, their families, Alumni and anyone else in our Future 5 family on a virtual basis.

Future 5 remains deeply committed to the “Power of Connection” and it is during times like these that our community will look to strengthen our bonds in new and creative ways, not fall victim to further social fragmentation.

Please know that we continue to monitor the rapidly changing situation and will provide updates as needed. Additionally, we will continue to share all community resources via our social media outlets.

All my best,
