Volunteer

We’ve been called to do a great work,
but we can’t do it alone.
Volunteer Cornerstone offers a variety of meaningful opportunities for individuals and groups to get involved with our school through tutoring, mentoring, coaching, and more. Whether you can commit to once a day or once a year, there are opportunities for every type of volunteer to participate.

Here are just a few ways you can partner with us:

Have lunch with a student! This is a weekly commitment of 30 minutes. Depending on the age of the student, lunch times will vary.

Tutor a student in reading and/or math for 30 minutes to an hour. This is a weekly commitment.

Work one on one or in small groups, weekly for 45 minutes to an hour after school, helping students with homework and fostering friendships.

  • Provide a meal for Cornerstone athletes before home games.
  • Become a coach! We rely on volunteers to help coach various sports at all three schools.

Mentors are trained and matched with a Cornerstone 4th or 5th grader by our friends at the Aspire Movement. Mentors spend an average of 5 hours per month with their student, not following any specific curriculum but simply incorporating their lives together in a way that fosters discipleship and mutual growth. For more information, contact Blakely Barley.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please begin by filling out this interest form.
  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
