We Empower Young Women
Here at “ORC”, our mission is to inspire and empower young women ages 12-18. No matter what circumstances brought you here, our hope is to provide a supportive and safe environment where individuals can learn new skills and develop healthy and productive lives at their own pace.
Who We Are
Onion River Crossroads (ORC) is a community based treatment program located in Montpelier, Vermont. We offer specialized support to girls and young women with behavioral and emotional issues.

What We Do
We offer a community based treatment for young women who need a highly structured program with round the clock supervision. We work to provide young women a safe, stable, home while they build strength and skills that prepare them to reach their goals and shape their futures.
How We Work
We use a non-punitive Value Based Therapeutic Environment (VBTE) model of care. We teach Pro-social behaviors as alternatives to antisocial behaviors. We provide a common set of values, skills, therapeutic activities and intervention tools. Our six values include: Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, Empowerment, Compassion, and Spirituality.
