Through a one-of-a-kind ten-year commitment, Fiver provides experiences that challenge and relationships that nurture so youth from systematically under-resourced communities in New York can create their own positive futures.
Empowering children to make positive life choices since 2000.
Over the last 25 years, Fiver has evolved into an award-winning youth development organization, annually serving nearly 500 youth (ages 8–18) from 200+ families, along with 150+ alumni (ages 18+), through a comprehensive 12-month program model. By offering out-of-school programs during the school year, a summer session at Camp Fiver, and educational workshops and retreats for parents and guardians—all at no cost—Fiver provides holistic support for entire families, empowering youth to transform themselves and their communities.
Children don’t just attend Fiver.
They become Fivers.
Through character-building summer and year-round out-of-school time programs, Fiver makes a long-term commitment to our participants, providing the platform, and underlying infrastructure, so that young people can empower themselves and their communities.
A culture of acceptance and affirmation.
Fiver has established an immersive culture with a common language, norms, artifacts, and practices that become embedded in the hearts of children, staff and everyone who becomes involved.
A Decade of Growth, A Legacy of Impact
1,700+ youth served since 2000.
