ATC is looking for around six volunteers to go on Outreach with our counselors. On Outreach, we hand out lots of supplies to community members and young individuals who need them. Supplies like travel-size hygiene items, socks, snacks, candy packs, and feminine hygiene products, among other things.
Historically, outreach has been At The Crossroads’ first point of contact with underserved youth. Our counselors walk the streets of downtown every Monday evening and Friday afternoon to offer candy, snacks, and hygiene supplies. We will explore the possibility of going on evening outreach on Thursdays.
We are looking for volunteers to support our outreach team by carrying and handing out extra supplies like socks, snacks, or pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Volunteers will need to arrive no later than one hour before outreach begins. This role requires an additional application and screening process. In order to fit our current capacity needs, ATC is requiring that outreach volunteers make a minimum one-year commitment. Training will be provided.
If you are interested, please fill out this form.

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.
