Recognizing that the opportunity gap for young people from greater Boston and Brockton has widened, Crossroads stands committed to providing a springboard to a bright future for every child,
regardless of their families financial situation.
Please help us bring opportunities
and community to our young people.
​
The world needs strong leaders.
For 9O years, Crossroads has helped Boston’s young people
FIND THEIR POWER.
Crossroads’ summer overnight camps and year-round leadership programs
get young people off their screens and out into nature, where they play, giggle, stretch,
and learn about the power of their own potential.
Our youth learn to build strong relationships and overcome challenges,
to swim, ride a bike, land a fish, navigate by compass, and summit mountains, to lead a team, influence for change, and give back to their communities.
They learn to CONFIDENTLY DREAM BIG.
Our programs can span 1O+ years in our young people's lives.
