About At the Crossroads

The mission of At the Crossroads is to reach out to homeless youth and young adults at their point of need, and work with them to build healthy and fulfilling lives. Our innovative model focuses on young people who do not access traditional services and are disconnected from any type of consistent support. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. We remove common barriers to service by bringing our counselors onto the streets, and shaping our support services around the needs of each individual client. Our goal is to help our clients build outstanding lives, not just lives of subsistence.  For more about information visit our websites http://atthecrossroads.org/,  http://atthecrossroads.org/summersunday/index.php and http://atthecrossroads.org/campaign/index.php.
