Volunteer at Cornerstone
“From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”
- Ephesians 4:16
At Cornerstone, we believe that volunteers are a vital part of our school community! We know that there is strength in unity and that it takes all of us—students, families, teachers, volunteers, donors—using our unique gifts and resources to accomplish Cornerstone’s mission.
We love seeing our volunteers match their time, talent, and treasure to the needs of our students, teachers, and staff. If you are interested in volunteering at Cornerstone, please review our current opportunities and complete the interest form below to get started.
Volunteer Opportunities
College/Career Connections: Share your college and career experiences with high school students, and potentially mentor an individual student or provide site visits or internships at your place of employment.
Community Leadership: We have a need for community leaders who are interested in volunteering their time, expertise, and/or networks to serve Cornerstone by serving on the Board of Directors, on Board committees such as finance, facilities and fundraising, by providing networking/internship/employment opportunities for Cornerstone students, or offering pro bono support in different areas as needs arise.
Lion’s Den: (After School Program): Our daily after-school program for Grades K-8 runs from 3:00-6:00 p.m. The program includes snack, recess, reading time, homework help, games, and enrichment activities. Volunteers connect with and work alongside a student (or small group of students) under the direction of the Lion's Den staff. Volunteers commit to a minimum of one hour, one day a week for a semester (October-December or February-May).
Lunch Buddies: Volunteers are paired with a student in 2nd-6th-grade with the opportunity to build meaningful relationships during 4 events throughout the school year. Two events will consist of volunteers joining in on a whole class activity, while the other two events will involve Buddies reading or playing a game together. All four events will include volunteers joining their students for lunch and an organized recess. The dates for the 24-25 SY are October 11, November 22, March 7 and May 1. Each event is from 11am-12:30pm.
Prayer Team: Members of the Prayer Team will receive regular prayer updates from Cornerstone, as well as urgent prayer requests via email. Prayer is a vital part of Cornerstone’s ministry to its students, parents, staff, and volunteers. We have full confidence that the Lord hears us as we bring our requests before him (1 John 5:14).
Reading Buddies: This is an opportunity to join our K/1 class each week for a minimum of 45 minutes for one semester (October-December or February-May). Volunteers serve under the direction of the teacher reading one on one with a student or with a small group. No classroom experience is required.
Snack Pantry: Churches and volunteers adopt a week to fill the snack pantry to ensure snacks are on hand for students who come to school hungry and for testing weeks throughout the school year. The school's wishlist can be found here: https://a.co/cnmPK0l.
Special Projects: These are great opportunities for a small group or church. Projects may include helping us reorganize our library, sprucing up a classroom or other area of the school, and more!
Tutoring: Individuals with specific skill sets or expertise in our core curriculum subjects offer additional instruction to students needing extra support. Tutors are supported by our Academic Dean to work with students individually and in small groups on a consistent basis. This requires a weekly commitment of 2 hours.
