Our Mission

Southern Cross Campus, Inc. is an independent non-denominational, humanitarian, non-profit organization whose charge is to improve and enhance the quality life and dignity of children and family units promoting their independence and individuality through removing barriers to educational opportunities and services by providing a secure and nurturing environment in the United States and Internationally.

The History of Southern Cross Campus Inc

It all began with the vision of a compassionate child. Due to family hardships, our President and Founder, Anna Cranmer, was herself, placed in a youth center at the tender age of 14. She could imagine nothing more than reaching out with love to other children who find themselves in situations beyond their control.

In 2009, the vision began to take shape. After numerous presentations and delegation meetings, letters of support from influential leaders like then-First Lady, Michelle Obama and then-Vice President, Joe Biden, began to flow in.

Now, with the pandemic behind us, Southern Cross Campus Inc is moving forward to bring needed programs to children and youth.
