Development Coordinator

Crossroads inspires young people to unlock their potential and positively impact the world. With summer camp and school-year programs starting as early as first grade and continuing through high school and into the postsecondary realm, Crossroads nurtures youth as they build the leadership and social-emotional skills required to become physically and mentally healthy adults, socially engaged citizens, and financially independent professionals. We believe that young people can shape their own futures and should not be defined by their social and economic circumstances. Our programming provides children and teens with access to a powerful community that offers countless opportunities to develop the essential skills needed to successfully navigate school and the postsecondary arena.
