CROSSROADS Mission:
Community Partnership for Youth, Inc. is a non-profit organization
whose mission is to prevent or reduce youth involvement with the
juvenile justice system by fostering positive mentoring
relationships between youth and volunteers. Screened and trained
volunteers are matched with children between the ages of 10 and 17
who have primarily been referred by juvenile probation officers or
judges.
About CROSSROADS
CROSSROADS was founded in 1968 in response to concerns of
citizens about growing juvenile delinquency issues. The agency was
patterned after a successful mentoring program in Michigan, which
had been started by a local judge. The original program served as an
outreach of The United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas.
