What You Haven’t Learned in School

Learning the quadratic formula is important for many of us. For many others, it isn’t—but learning how to cook, how to manage finances, how to build a business or prepare yourself for the world of work: these are critical life skills.

This Foundations experience will support participants with the fundamentals to gain confidence in their chosen challenge area, and culminate in a project that allows the whole group to learn together.

Leadership Your Way

Leadership coaching is often something expensive, reserved for corporate executives. It’s also often thought of as a talent, rather than a skill.

This Foundations experience turns those myths on their heads and supports participants in understanding the very learnable, very human skills behind leadership. Through exciting and challenging group exercises, participants are encouraged to self-reflect and develop their own innate talents to help others as a leader.

Mental Health and Well-being

For youth 15 - 30

If you’re not sick, you’re healthy, right? Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger? Mental health is just like physical health, correct?

We all carry assumptions about what mental health and well-being are, and what they aren’t. This Cornerstone Foundations course takes participants through an exploration of their own thoughts, assumptions, biases, and wonderings about mental health.

As a group, participants evolve their own theories of change and create action plans for improving mental health for themselves and in their communities. With the help of expert facilitators and input from diverse experts, participants will receive a world class foundation in exploring the field of mental health and wellness.
