About ITIC

What is the I Think I Can Campaign?
It’s like a walkathon but you don’t have to walk. You can pick any goal you have, and turn it into a fundraising activity.

It’s this easy:

  1. Pick a goal. Click here for campaign ideas.
  2. Make a campaign page (just a few clicks). Sign up right now.
  3. Tell your friends about your campaign (or start a team for them to join). We have templates to make this easy!
  4. Start accomplishing your goals and raising money for homeless youth.

So just to recap, pick any goal you want, get the people in your life to sponsor you, and make a difference in the lives of homeless youth.

When does the campaign start?

The Campaign starts on January 1. You can start your campaign anytime in 2012 (New Year’s Day, beginning of lent, or any other day). It can last one day, one month, or however long you want.

Where does the money raised go?

At The Crossroads helps homeless youth build outstanding lives. We focus on reaching young people who don’t access traditional services, providing them with unconditional support, and helping them identify and achieve all of their goals.

10 things you should know about ATC

  1. Our support is truly unconditional. In 14 years, we have never kicked a client out of our program.
  2. Our focus is on helping homeless youth build outstanding lives, not just lives of subsistence. We feel our clients deserve the same things in life that everyone strives for, not just a roof over their head and a low-paying job.
  3. We once successfully got a client on the Ricki Lake show. He rocked.
  4. We have reached more than 5,000 youth since we started.
  5. For every dollar we spend on supplies, we get ten dollars of supplies donated. We know how to stretch a buck.
  6. In August 2007, we looked at what our closest clients were accomplishing in their lives, and found that 74% of them had gotten into stable housing since we had met them. We looked at those same clients again in November 2009, and found that 94% were now in stable housing. This is why our clients are awesome.
  7. Our four core values are: Respecting individuality, supporting empowerment, making services as accessible as possible, and prioritizing our clients needs comes first. These are values we never bend or compromise.
  8. Our staff likes to dance, as seen in our 2007 video of the JJ Fad song “Supersonic,” which you can see here.
  9. 100% of our support is private. We have never taken government money. So that means we need your money (or your friends’ money).
  10. We have the coolest staff, board and volunteers ever. Seriously, the people involved with ATC are incredible. You should become one of them.
