We believe today’s youth are our future, the seeds for community wellness. This belief in our youth is the genesis for our Positive Youth Development Project. As a community-based organization we strive to provide positive alternatives to youth homelessness and support for youth aging out of foster care.
POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Our approach to Positive Youth Development begins with meeting them where they are, identifying their immediate and basic needs, and what barriers or challenges stand in their way. Our team engages youth and young adults with positive experiences, character building, and educational and vocational workforce opportunities.
Crossroads Transitional Living Program provides safe, stable, and appropriate shelter for runaways, homeless youth, including unaccompanied pregnant and parenting youth.
Partnering with local housing, health, and service agencies, we promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness. Our goal is to quickly rehouse youth experiencing homelessness and those fleeing domestic violence, sexual assault & stalking while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness. We strive to promote access to and utilization of mainstream programs, services and resources.
WHAT WE DO
WE BELIEVE NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO NAVIGATE THE TRANSITION FROM HOMELESSNESS TO SELF SUFFICIENCY FEELING ISOLATED AND ALONE.
