American-born social-worker Caryn Green, Director of Crossroads Jerusalem, was recently in Livingston, NJ, where she addressed a parlor meeting about the often unknown dangers confronting American Youth studying in Israel.  Crossroads, founded in 2001, is Jerusalem’s only organization dedicated to assisting at-risk youth from English-speaking homes.  According to Green, in recent years the number of English-speaking youth who have been caught up in Israel’s drug and crime trades has beenon the rise.  Crossroads conducts outreach and operates a drop-in center across from Zion Square.  For more information, visit www.crosroadsjerusalem.org
