A New School Year, A New Chapter at Cornerstone Youth Centre
Cornerstone Youth Centre is filled with hope, gratitude, and excitement as we welcome a new school year! As youth return to school and begin a new chapter, the Cornerstone team is ready to continue being a consistent and supportive presence in their lives.
This year, Cornerstone Youth Centre is committed to showing up, listening, encouraging, and meeting youth where they are. Every young person arrives with their own experiences, strengths, challenges, and dreams, and our goal is to create a space where they feel safe, heard, valued, and supported.
We are especially excited to welcome new youth into the Cornerstone community, while also celebrating the return of the youth who have been part of our programs in previous years. Whether this is your first time walking through our doors or you have been with us for years, there is always room to grow, connect, and create new memories at Cornerstone.
As the new school year begins, youth will have opportunities to build life skills, confidence, resilience, positive relationships, and a stronger sense of belonging. Through mentorship, HARD Goals, group activities, recreation, learning opportunities, and meaningful conversations, we hope to help each youth recognize their strengths and discover what they are capable of achieving.
The beginning of a school year can bring excitement, new challenges, new friendships, and sometimes uncertainty. At Cornerstone, youth don't have to navigate those moments alone. Our team and mentors are here to walk alongside them, celebrate their successes, support them through challenges, and remind them that their voice and their goals matter.

Youth Working With US
The programs at Cornerstone Youth Centre are designed to act as a preventative measure to build youth resiliency, encourage responsibility, and the capacity to make healthy choices once outside of the centre.
Registering for our Mentorship Matters program is simple! Once you've completed the registration form, our team will conduct an in-depth consultation to assess the specific needs of each youth. Following this thorough evaluation, we will contact parents directly to confirm whether their child has been accepted into the program, ensuring that we provide the best possible support for every participant.

Working With Youth
Our programs are based on The 40 developmental Assets, which is a framework created by the Search Institute. The external assets focus on the relationships and opportunities they need in their families, schools, and communities, while the internal assets focus on the social-emotional strengths, values, and commitments that are nurtured within young people. The more assets a youth gains, the less likely they are to engage in risky behaviours, including substance use, gang involvement, school incompletion.
