Crossroads Wilderness Institute (CWI) was established in 1986 as an Institute which finds solutions for the adolescent crime issues that face south Florida. As a residential rehabilitation organization, we have developed a program that works with youthful offenders in an educational and wilderness environment.

     CWI's partnership with the wilderness environment brings about far more growth and change than occurs with other methods or in other settings. Our combination of academic skills, vocational training community service and structured outdoor education component places an emphasis on discipline and behavior modification.
