Since its creation, Youth Crossroads has served tens of thousands of youth and their families from Berwyn, Cicero, Stickney, and neighboring towns. We’ve partnered with more than 100 community organizations to create a network of referral sources to address the complex issues confronting youth and families. Today Youth Crossroads offers community youth, generally ages 10-17, opportunities to heal, grow, lead, and thrive.
Youth Crossroads provides school-based individual and group counseling services to help at-risk young people develop the skills and confidence to achieve success in school, at home and in life. The agency focuses its counseling efforts on reducing the negative effects of violence, trauma and other current life difficulties while building new skills and attitudes that help young people move forward in safe and productive ways. Youth Crossroads is continually adapting our Counseling and Support Services to better meet the needs of local youth and their families.
Our youth development programs provide youth with positive support structures in their lives. Our programs keep them engaged during the critical period between the end of the school day and when parents get home and also provide opportunities for youth to gain knowledge and skills in subjects like the arts, media, and technology which can lead to fulfilling careers. They also have the opportunity to participate in community service, build their capacity for self-reliance, self-sacrifice, and social responsibility and receive college readiness or job skills workshops.
