Crossroads for Youth

What Crossroads for Youth does

Crossroads for Youth, operating as Camp Oakland, is a private nonprofit treatment agency founded in 1951 and headquartered at 820 James Hunt Dr, Oxford, Michigan. The organization provides residential treatment and therapeutic services to at-risk children and youth, along with their families, with the stated mission of helping youth heal in a safe environment under the care of competent professionals. Core programs include ACT (Achievement Center Treatment), GTC (Girls Treatment Center), and LPC (Life Preparation Center), supplemented by Therapy, Training & Consulting services, Career Workshops, and the Cup of J.O.E. mentorship program. The organization emphasizes education (G.E.D. and diploma preparation) and reports a less than 10% recidivism rate among youth who complete its programs with a credential.

The business model is a nonprofit funding model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated through a combination of government referrals (the distribution channel is described as government-direct), grants, donations, and community fundraising events such as the TOGOLF and Give a Child a Chance Golf Outing events and the Turkeys 4 Teens campaign. The organization maintains a Community Partners program to support grants and donor relationships. The geographic footprint is regional, serving Oxford, Michigan and surrounding areas from a single facility, with no evidence of multi-site operations. Headcount is in the 11-50 range, consistent with a small single-site residential treatment operator.
