Primary Exempt Purpose	Crossroads Community Outreach Foundation, Inc. (CCOF) was established in 2004 by Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences as a separate 501 (c)(3)organization in order to share its resources with underserved schools in the greater Los Angeles community and address the educational needs of some of community's most vulnerable children. CCOR focuses on two programs: P.S. Science and K-8 Comprehensive Music Program.	PrimaryExemptPurpose

Program Service Accomplishment ProgramServiceAccomplishment (2 entries)

Description Program Service AccomDescriptionProgramServiceAccom	Grants And AllocationsGrantsAndAllocations
K-8 Comprehensive Music:CCOF formed a collaborative partnership with SOL-LA Music Academy to deliver quality music instruction to students at Saint Anne School in Santa Monica, CA, the only nonpublic Title I school in Santa Monica. CCOF is providing funding for the program and SOL-LA is assisting with on-site personnel management. CCOF views the SOL-LA collaboration as an opportunity to partner with a high quality nonprofit organization to support Saint Anne School. The program, which includes violin, viola and cello instruction both in school and as an optional after school program, has had a huge impact on the entire culture of Saint Anne School, where Title I students and parents for the first time see themselves engaging meaningfully with the arts.	16890
P.S. Science:CCOF created P.S. Science to captivate young minds and inspire a lifelong passion for science. This hands on, exploration-based weekly science program benefits first, second, and third grade students in Title 1 schools where exposure to science is either non-existent or severely limited (under No Child Left Behind science is not tested until fourth grade, so it is not taught in grades 1-3 in most public schools). The goals of P.S. Science are: (1) Students experience science in an active, engaging, exciting, and relevant way; this promotes a distinctly positive attitude towards science and science exploration; (2)Students participate in authentic science processes including observations, measurements, data collection and communicating ideas and results; (3)Students use inquiry to explore personally relevant topics and; (4) Teachers demonstrate increased comfort with and interest in teaching inquiry-based science as a result of the program. P.S. Science currently serves more than 625 children living at or below the poverty line at William Green Elementary School, McKinley Elementary School and Saint Anne School, all Title I schools, and is enthusiastically endorsed by faculty and principals.	180290
