In 2023, CMPD launched the Fifth Element Youth Outreach Pilot Program for youth ages 13-17 years old. This program was developed to meet youth where they are and provide a support system to become self-sufficient and productive members of society. The program is for youth who have a history of making poor choices or have a prior arrest yet have great potential and want to make the right choices. Through several community partnerships, each participant has access to a network of resources, including mentors, life and occupational training, career coaching and cultural enrichment activities. Participants are automatically enrolled the following year until they age out of the program. Building on the success of the pilot phase of the program from 2023, CMPD is excited to announce that we have continued to fully launch the Fifth Element Youth Outreach Program in 2024. Hear from Major Tellis on more about how CMPD launched the program and the opportunities it offers to the youth of Charlotte.

Thank you Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department for taking the time to teach these kids. This is a game changer, even if you help just one juvenile makes it all worth it. Don't stop this program please.
