Project Cornerstone

Project Cornerstone is a Santa Clara County initiative that is based on the research of Search Institute on the 40 developmental assets, or building blocks, that all children and youth need to succeed. The organization’s mission is to train and mobilize adults throughout Santa Clara County to intentionally work to develop healthy, caring, and responsible children and youth. They seek to achieve this mission through programs that strengthen families, neighborhoods, communities, and schools.  They also seek to ensure that the needs of young people are addressed in public policy.

 

Project Cornerstone works with Evergreen School District to provide training in developmental assets to parents, teachers, administrators and students.  Parents are involved in such programs as the ABC Parent Program and Los Dichos de la Casa. To find out how you can involve your school, please speak with your principal.
