THE 5TH CORNER WAS A VISION THAT STEMMED FROM CONVERSATIONS OF SALINE BUSINESSES, RESIDENTS, AND THE SCHOOLS. IN 2012, THE SALINE COMMUNITY SAW THE NEED FOR A TEEN CENTER IN THE COMMUNITY. THE SALINE COMMUNITY CHURCH OFFERED THEIR SPACE AS A CENTRAL LOCATION FOR YOUTH FROM ALL OVER WASHTENAW COUNTY TO ACCESS. THE FIFTH CORNER WAS ESTABLISHED AS A 501-C3 ORGANIZATION AND HAS BEEN ABLE TO OFFER FREE SERVICES TO MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL AGED YOUTH EVER SINCE. 

MISSION

THE MISSION OF THE 5TH CORNER IS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS CAN CONNECT, BELONG, AND DEVELOP AS LEADERS. THE 5TH CORNER PROVIDES A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THAT PROMOTE PEER SUPPORT, TEEN LEADERSHIP, AND OTHER SHARED INTERESTS.

Vision

TO CULTIVATE A SAFE SPACE FOR ALL TEENS TO ENGAGE IN THEIR PERSONAL INTERESTS.
