What is Project Cornerstone?

Volunteers read books every month and lead a discussion and activity in the classroom. Stories focus on building friendship skills, increasing student-student respect, how to avoid bullies, and how to contribute to building a positive community culture.

Project Cornerstone lessons help young people develop the skills to feel valued, respected and known. We do this by following a curriculum, set by the YMCA of Silicon Valley, that helps children build social and emotional skills. Typically our volunteers would go into classrooms to read books from the curriculum, lead discussions, and facilitate activities. We work closely with the teachers to find an option that fits into their busy class schedule and works well for their particular group of students.
