🌴🦆 We had a quacking good time! 🦆🌴

Today, Crosswinds Youth Services had the opportunity to participate in the Duck Regatta at Beachside Hotel & Suites as part of Accelerate Brevard’s community outreach event. We loved connecting with local businesses, sharing information about our programs, and spreading a little Duck Race excitement along the way!

A huge thank you to Accelerate Brevard and Beachside Hotel & Suites for hosting such a fun and engaging event. We enjoyed meeting so many community members and fellow organizations who are helping make Brevard County a better place to live, work, and play.

Today we had the opportunity to connect with residents at River Way HOA and share more about the mission of Crosswinds Youth Services and the work being done every day to support vulnerable and homeless youth in our community. They allowed us to take part in their Memorial Day Celebration.

Outreach matters. Conversations matter. Communities become stronger when neighbors understand the challenges facing local children and families — and how we can work together to create hope, safety, and opportunity.

We are grateful for the warm welcome, thoughtful conversations, and community spirit shown by everyone at River Way. Thank you for allowing us to share our mission and upcoming community initiatives, including the Great Brevard Duck Race on June 13.

Together, we can make sure no child feels forgotten.

05/25/2026

Today, Crosswinds Youth Services honors and remembers the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Because of their sacrifice, generations of children and families have had the opportunity to live in freedom, safety, and hope.

As we gather with loved ones this Memorial Day, we pause with gratitude for those who never made it home. Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

From all of us at Crosswinds Youth Services — thank you to our fallen heroes and the families who carry their legacy forward. 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate the incredible mothers of Crosswinds Youth Services, Inc. — the women who nurture, guide, protect, advocate, and lead both at home and within our organization every single day.

To the moms working overnight shifts, answering crisis calls, comforting youth through difficult moments, leading teams, balancing family and service, and still finding the strength to give more of themselves we see you.

Your compassion changes lives.
Your sacrifices matter.
Your love extends far beyond your own families and reaches the young people who walk through our doors needing safety, hope, and healing.

Thank you for the countless ways you mother this community.

From all of us at Crosswinds Youth Services, Happy Mother’s Day. 💜
