(CSRwire) LOS ANGELES, CA - May 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital Gold Group, Inc. announced today that it is a new sponsor of C5 Youth Foundation, whose mission is to change the odds for high-potential youth from risk-filled environments, inspiring them to pursue personal success, and preparing them for leadership roles in college, work and their communities.

Jonathan Rose, founder and CEO of Capital Gold Group, Inc., was personally inspired by the work of the C5 Youth Foundation. In an interview today, Mr. Rose revealed that his own experiences as a young camp counselor working with underprivileged and at-risk youths made C5 a cause close to his heart.

"C5 addresses critical issues in our community by helping young people achieve everything they are capable of, despite their background, limited support or lack of opportunities. This is a very worthy charity that the Capital Gold Group is proud to sponsor."

The concept of C5 Youth Foundation was originally conceived in 1999 by John Alm, former CEO of Coca-Cola Enterprises, who had a vision of helping high potential young people with limited resources grow to become successful and responsible leaders in their communities.

The Coca-Cola system adopted the concept in 2001 and The Camp Coca-Cola Foundation, a 501(c)(3) corporation, was created. By listening to experts in education and youth development, building a talented leadership team and committed local staffs, and utilizing an esteemed and engaged National Advisory Council, the Foundation created Camp Coca-Cola.

Today Camp Coca-Cola is recognized as a leading model of youth development. In 2007, recognizing that the name "Camp Coca-Cola" didn't do justice to its goals, the program or the youth, the foundation changed names and became the C5 Youth Foundation.

Other youth foundations recently sponsored by Capital Gold Group, Inc. include Idol Gives Back, a new U.S. 501(c)(3) charitable organization, working to help young people living in poverty in the U.S. and around the world, and The My Stuff Bags Foundation, providing duffel bags filled with things to cuddle and call their own to over 300,000 abused and neglected children entering crisis and foster care across America each year without any of their own belongings.

Capital Gold Group, Inc. is a premier provider of Physical Gold Assets for direct delivery and in Gold IRAs, as investor protection against the shrinking U.S. Dollar and an unstable global economic climate. Capital Gold Group also recently announced the launch of its Gold Affiliate Program which enables financial advisors nationwide to provide their clientele a physical gold asset allocation strategy to diversify and offset a portfolio full of dollar-based investments with a tangible asset. In a recent interview, Mr. Rose said, "Gold is the missing link in most portfolio's today. Every investor needs gold as portfolio insurance."

Capital Gold Group's President and CEO, Jonathan Rose, is a recognized speaker and commentator for worldwide gold markets, including the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, India, and Europe. He is heard on syndicated talk radio throughout the U.S. Capital Gold Group, Inc. has main offices in Los Angeles and London.
