What Crossroads for Youth does
Mission
We believe the children and their families in our care deserve the chance to heal by being valued in a safe environment by competent, caring professionals. Camp oakland is a private, nonprofit treatment agency that serves at-risk children and youth. Over 300 children are served annually in our integrated educational and vocational core programs. We utilize a proven therapeutic model combining choice theory and adventure based experiential learning techniques built on a foundation of trauma-informed care. We empower youth so that they can learn how to evaluate their own behavior and actions in order to make thoughtful decisions in their lives, while also facilitating emotional and psychological healing. Our beautiful 160-acre, wooded main campus provides an ideal environment from which to offer a wide variety of programming. It is amazing what kids discover about themselves when they are given the opportunity to disconnect from technology.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Residential programs:these programs use individual, family and group problem-solving techniques as a foundation for their therapeutic approaches. Individual treatment plans reflect both short-term goals to address immediate behaviors of concern and long-term goals to increase the probability of success upon release. Parents are asked to work in conjunction with the treatment team in the process of incorporating appropriate skill development, counseling and discipline so that the residents experience consistency and a sense of teamwork. Additional opportunities for students include attendance at cultural and sporting events, and the possibility for employment in jobs, both on campus and off grounds in the local community. The direct program staff includes treatment specialists, therapists and site supervisors. Every student attends an on-site school. Some students also have the opportunity to attend the local public school. The usual length of stay is five to twelve months.

The day student programs are solution focused and treatment oriented. The goal is to help each student move toward internalizing effective strategies for making appropriate choices. The treatment team is intentional in teaching social skills, problems solving skills and the process of recognizing one's own needs as well as the role of others in the student's life. Through treatment, students learn to take responsibility for the outcomes of their actions both in terms of themselves and others. Program components include individual family therapy, problem-solving and other specialized groups, community service, academics and vocational education and activities both on and off grounds.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $2.9M to $2.5M (−14%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 2% · 2018 2% · 2019 2% · 2020 2% · 2021 17% · 2022 15% · 2023 1% · 2024 2% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
3% of CROSSROADS FOR YOUTH’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (13% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 7 funders to 2 funders, grant income fell $42k → $27k.
3 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CROSSROADS FOR YOUTH’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CROSSROADS FOR YOUTH leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
44% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CROSSROADS FOR YOUTH.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 60% · 2018 62% · 2019 73% · 2020 38% · 2021 59% · 2022 87% · 2023 94% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
33% of CROSSROADS FOR YOUTH's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 39% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
91% of CROSSROADS FOR YOUTH's grant income comes from Michigan funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $36k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
