It is finally sweater weather, well kind of, which not only hints at the changing of the season, not that we really have them in California anyways, but also the mailing of our Fall Newsletter. Our newsletters are one of our biggest sources of funding, so it is really important that we get them out on time! We are looking for volunteers to come into the office the week of 10/31 to help stamp mail. The following shifts are currently open: Tuesday 10/31:

Mission Statement
At The Crossroads reaches out to homeless youth and young adults at their point of need, and works with them to build healthy and fulfilling lives. By bringing our services directly onto the streets, we cultivate long-term, unconditional relationships with young people who would otherwise be disconnected from consistent support. We empower our clients to accomplish their individual goals, build community, pursue their passions, and find their own paths to happiness and stability. We believe that there are no limits to what our clients can achieve, and that everyone deserves the chance to build an outstanding life.
Description
In 1997, ATC was founded by Rob Gitin and Taj Mustapha after they received an Echoing Green Fellowship to start a program for underserved homeless youth. They designed ATC’s nighttime outreach program to serve these disconnected young people and bring support directly to them, without lots of paperwork and long wait times. In May 2018 Charles Lerner joined our team as our new Executive Director. Under Charles’ leadership, ATC published its first-ever ad campaign, completed a strategic planning process that resulted in three strategic directions for 2020-2023, and launched a project to create a theory of change model that will guide our work moving forward. After 24 years, meeting youth where they are at and providing them with unconditional support still remains the foundation of At The Crossroads’ work. To this day, we have never kicked a single client out of our program.
Based on over two decades of experience, we know that building long-term caring relationships with the most disconnected young people on the streets results in the following outputs:
- Increased trust and comfort in ATC’s counselors over time.
- Increased access to food and essential supplies that help clients think beyond survival mode.
- Increased achievement of individual goals related to housing, mental and physical health needs, and school or employment.
