Have you ever experienced fighting against something that seemed like a win-less battle?  Ever felt completely alone not knowing how to handle what's ahead?  One of the girls in our sessions stated this, "Sometimes I feel like I'm in a boxing ring, and I look across the ring and see this big person with all these people behind them getting ready to fight me.  I look around in my corner and see no one.  That's how I feel sometimes." 

No one should ever feel this way...especially our young people.  Unfortunately we live in a society where there are great injustices and painful situations.  Our goal at The 5th is to be in a young person's corner.  Although we help all young people from every economic background, we especially want to help those who are from disadvantaged backgrounds. We want to help level the playing field between those who can afford specialized training and those who cannot. Help us help them. With you we can do so much more.
