The 5th Inc. Youth Development Group is a registered 501c3 nonprofit that serves youth between the ages of 12 and 24. We help youth discover, develop, and grow in their personal and professional development to become their best in life.
Civic Engagement Education
Research has consistently shown that serving a community and being part of a group that serves has numerous benefits for young people themselves. Youth engagement can lead to increased academic performance and improved social-emotional well-being. It helps young people build skills and networks that are valued in the workplace, and can thus be a source of economic mobility. When youth feel empowered to take action, and when they see their efforts achieve positive change, it can have a profound and lasting impact. - Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning & Engagement
