Where & How You Can Help
Buildings Crew:
Help revitalize and maintain our campus
Our historic buildings need constant care and renovation. You can help with simple maintenance projects, renovations or gardening. Some work takes place during the week, and many times on Saturday. You can connect with a group, or come individually. Even with minimal skills, we have someone who can help you learn.
Classroom Partners:
Immerse yourself in the classroom
Our children soak up the lives of others. If you want to make a difference directly in the lives of students, then volunteering in the classroom is one of the best ways! You can come as often as you like and work with students as they learn and grow; or work with teachers. Work is Monday through Thursday during school hours.
Information Stations:
Help in the library and computer lab
Our library and computer lab are the eyes and ears of Cornerstone. When our students explore new horizons in books or computers, they discover new things about themselves and their world. You can help us in many ways including: helping shelve and process books, reading to students, assisting the computer instructor, or helping teach an interactive computer lesson. Some skills in computers are necessary for help during school hours.
Administrative Assistance:
Serving behind the scenes in our offices
Our office support staff and administrators are busy each day helping the school grow and change. You can help with office duties as well as specialized projects with parents, volunteers and donors. If you can serve Monday - Friday and have some organizational skills, you can join this team.
Specialists:
Fine Arts and Physical Education
Many schools are eliminating these specialties because of budgetary constraints. Cornerstone is dedicated to the development of the whole person. You can help with P.E. classes or sports teams, the Voices in Praise children's choir, Zoe Praise Dance Troupe. Special skills are desired for after school and weekend help.
Tutors & Mentors:
Invest in individual students
These are crucial individuals to our students' academic success. Various opportunities are available:
-
Individual mentors work with middle school students in grades 6-8 focusing on academics and personal development
-
Science Lab Aide, help research, do projects and help with Science Fair.
-
Tutors, work one - on - one Monday-Friday during the school day and as a part of the after school program from 3:15 - 5:15 p.m. Some skills and a consistent commitment are needed.
