Crossroads Decision®
Our mission is to elevate the lives of every young person we encounter through the thoughtful and professional execution of our Crossroads Decision® Critical Thinking Program.
Our goal is to inspire young people to believe in their ability to think and behave in a manner that transforms their current situation and predictable outcomes. We do this the only way we know how; through candor, sincerity, respect, and integrity.
Critical Thinking Program for Student Athletes
Every day, student athletes are faced with split second decisions that can change their lives drastically. More often than not, these student athletes have not been equipped with the proper critical thinking skills that are needed to make the right decisions. What do these athletes have to lose? Besides possible scholarships and the ability to actively pursue sports, these students risk their reputations, legal freedom and even worst; their lives.
Critical Thinking Program for Today's Youth
Every day, youth are forced to make split second decisions that can alter their lives drastically. Sadly, some youth are less equipped to think critically than others thus putting themselves at risk for making bad decisions. We address this through a structured approach to improving problem solving and decision-making skills that make a sufficient difference in their capabilities to think critically.
