How old are the people who come to Cornerstone?
Most tend to be university/college students or recent graduates, with a sprinkling of assorted other ages. Our oldest volunteer was 70. The Development Consultant is a grandmother and some of our long term resident volunteers are retirees. Recent high school graduates who are at least 18 are sometimes accepted. Organized and chaperoned community linking groups under the age of 18 are considered. Volunteers that are younger than 21 need to be outgoing, organized, and self-confident. If you are older than 35 you need to be flexible, young at heart and open minded. Most of those who come to Cornerstone are from North America and the European Union, but people from other parts of the world also come to work with us.
