Crosswinds began in 1974 in response to community outcry over the discovery of several graves in the area containing the bodies of teenagers who had run away and had been murdered. The community reacted to the shock of this tragedy by opening the organization's first program -- an emergency children's shelter -- and vowing never to let this happen again. Today, the Crosswinds shelter program is still providing a safety net and a new beginning for Brevard County's youth and their families. Over the years Crosswinds has grown to provide a range of programs and services developed in response to some of the most critical issues facing youth and their families. These programs offer emergency residential care and supportive services for children in crisis; provide homeless youth with transitional housing and skills training while they work on becoming self-sufficient; help youth age out of the foster care system as independent young adults; assist and reunite families in crisis through counseling; take endangered teenagers off the streets; provide timely interventions for young offenders; and more. Each day young people come through Crosswinds' doors facing what would seem to most adults to be impossible obstacles. These obstacles can present major challenges to a young person's success. However, time and again Crosswinds has also seen these very same youth display exceptional ability and determination to turn their lives around. Crosswinds Youth Services' mission -- creating opportunities for young people to succeed -- embodies the organization's foremost belief that, offered the right opportunities, all young people can reach their full potential regardless of any challenges they may have faced.
