With the support of more than 90 local Future 5 coaches and volunteers, the organization helps connect students to college, careers, the community, and most importantly, their own character.
In June, 56 Future 5 high school seniors, received 266 acceptances to 67 colleges and universities. They received more than $750,000 in college and other scholarships, including Horatio Alger, Stamford Rotary and City of Stamford JWV Community Service awards.
