Crossroads Center for Children is proud to announce that it has been chosen to receive a grant from the KeyBank Foundation to support development of technology at our school.
Crossroads Center for Children, of Schenectady, New York, is a not-for-profit school where young children with autism spectrum disorders learn and grow alongside their more typically developing peers. The mission of Crossroads is to prepare individuals with and without developmental disabilities for life success within their family and community.
Since we opened in 1998, the school has served increasing numbers of children with and without disabilities, and we have increased the scope of our programs in order to meet the needs of our community. Our goal is to ensure that all of our students learn the academic and social skills they need to be successful in their family, community and school classroom.
Although we do receive some government funding in the form of tuition payments, this money does not cover all of the costs of running a successful and effective educational program. In order to ensure that all of our young students learn the academic and social skills they need to become fully productive citizens within their homes, schools and communities we must rely on financial support from our community in the way of fundraising, donations, and grants.
Beyond traditional banking products and services, Key supports communities through the important work of KeyBank Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization founded in 1969 and funded by KeyCorp. The Foundation’s mission is to support organizations and programs that prepare individuals for thriving futures and is advanced through three funding priorities – Neighbors, Education and Workforce – and through Community Service. Crossroads is delighted and deeply grateful for this recognition and support.
