Our Approach

One-on-one Support: Each Fiver student in grades 6 through 12 are assigned a Fiver counselor to serve as their mentor and their personal link to Fiver.

School-Year Programs: Fiver offers monthly programs by grade level from September through June aimed at teaching students to make positive, healthy decisions, and to provide skills and guidance to navigate the difficult transitions into middle school, high school, college, and work.

Summer Programs: All Fiver students in grades 3 through 12 attend Camp Fiver, a residential summer program in central NY aimed at helping kids develop strong character, improve literacy, and develop healthy decision-making habits.

Parent Programs: Fiver staff and parent leaders collaborate to lead monthly parent meetings and at least four educational workshops annually.

Alumni Programs: Fiver holds several alumni reunion events annually and maintains contact via phone, email and online social networks.
