EMPOWERMENT STARTS HERE
Creating Better Tomorrows
Our mission is nurturing and educating women and girls, many struggling with the effects of trauma and abuse to create a better future for themselves and for their families. We thank you for your interest in Crittenton, and we look forward to the prospect of your being part of our community and family.
Over the past year, we have launched a capital campaign to fund our new facility and the expanding services we are called on to deliver. The capital campaign is part of a strategic initiative to evolve Crittenton so that we can meet the increasing needs of women and girls in need of a safe place to heal, learn, and obtain independent living skills. We invite you to learn more and to support our efforts.
