Cornerstone Learning Center's services focus on helping youngsters succeed—in school and in life. We serve students on the upper West Side of Manhattan with school-year and summer programs open to students in grades 6, 7, and 8. Our Bridge program for high school students enrolls teens that started in Cornerstone during their middle school years. Each volunteer is matched with one student for 90 minute sessions once a week.
