ORGANIZATION SUMMARY

Crossroads Campus was founded in 2010 and is an IRS-designated 501(c)(3) serving Nashville, Tennessee. Our mission is to provide opportunities for healing and developing resilience to young people facing barriers and abandoned pets to transform human and animal lives.  We are committed to improving our community by bringing together neglected animals and young adults to heal and learn from each other. Our core values guide every aspect of our work:

1. Individually I respect the uniqueness of everyone I interact with. I am responsible for my actions and am guided by grace and compassion.
2. As a team, we build trust and a community of belonging where everyone’s strengths are recognized, boundaries are protected, and a sense of safety is ever present.
3. Together we persevere and strive for excellence as an organization. Recognizing the importance of accountability, learning, and reliability in our work.

We provide trauma-informed supportive housing and workforce development opportunities for young adults facing barriers, helping them gain the skills and experience needed to be successful in the workforce. Through the operation of multiple social enterprises—including animal adoption and education, retail, grooming, and a cat café—young adults learn valuable job skills, earn living wages, and develop the ability to manage personal finances. Our programs foster empathy and compassion for all living things through positive interactions with animals, while also empowering young adults to succeed both personally and professionally.
