Our Impact
One in five young people in Connecticut — ages 14 to 26 — are at risk, disconnected, or severely disconnected from school and work. Re-engaging them could add up to $5.5 billion to the state’s economy each year while transforming lives and communities. Together, we’re proving what’s possible when every young person has a path forward.
Since 2009, Future 5 has connected over 950 under-resourced students to the people and resources they need to reach their educational, career, and life goals.
