Crossroads Institute trained at-risk New Orleans youth in the performing arts and peer education in 2009, employing artists and youth trainers to conduct workshops locally and nationally. In 2010, donors funded $5,000 in youth stipends and $3,000 for an online library of best practices. The document requests donations for youth programs ("Creative Forces") or the online library, otherwise for general operating funds, thanking supporters and noting Crossroads Institute's nonprofit status.
