Cornerstone Crossroads Academy (CCA) develops urban youth in South Dallas through transformative education. We serve low-income to extremely low-income students who have dropped out of school, are formerly homeless or facing homelessness, and/or who are formerly incarcerated. Our life skills and leadership training, workforce development, and mentoring programs collectively help our clients develop academically, socially, physically, and spiritually so that they are prepared to begin their post-secondary education and/or enter the workforce. Of those who have graduated with us to date, 85% are working, in college or vocational training, or are serving in the military. This is an astonishing success given the overwhelming barriers each of our students face.
