Youth Program
Guiding Young Adults Toward a Stronger Future
CrossRoads of Southern Nevada’s Youth Program empowers individuals ages 18–24 to overcome challenges related to mental health, addiction, and independent living. Our goal is to help young adults build the confidence, stability, and life skills needed for lasting success.
A Holistic Approach to Recovery and Growth
Our program combines mental health support, addiction recovery, and housing assistance to create a strong foundation for lifelong wellness. Using evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), participants learn resilience, emotional regulation, and healthy decision-making. Through individual counseling, group therapy, and peer mentorship, every participant is guided by professionals who understand their journey and provide compassionate, personalized care.
Education, Employment, and Life Skills Support
CrossRoads’ dedicated case management team helps each participant take steps toward independence by offering housing assistance, job readiness training, educational support, and help obtaining essential documents (State ID, Social Security, birth certificate, etc.).
In collaboration with the UNLV Cardiff Team, we provide workforce coaching, job placement services, and GED or college readiness referrals through UNLV and CSN programs. UNLV School of Public Health mentors also assist participants in addressing social determinants of health, equipping them with tools and resources to achieve their goals.
Continued Success Through Community Partnerships
To ensure long-term stability, CrossRoads partners with the Shine A Light Foundation, a Las Vegas–based nonprofit supporting individuals transitioning out of homelessness. Their IPATH program connects participants to housing, treatment, and employment opportunities with extended case management.
Together, CrossRoads, UNLV, and Shine A Light help young adults stay engaged in aftercare, pursue education or career goals, and continue thriving well beyond the program — creating lasting change built on hope, opportunity, and community.
