Who We Are

The Cornerstone Creative is an after-school youth mentorship woodworking and craftsmanship program. We exist to be a place of safety, hope and learning for the youth in Gloucester MA. We strive to create a space where personal growth can take place by building something new, restoring something old, creating something from nothing, dreaming big and working hard - both internally and externally; physically and emotionally. Teaching life skills and instilling qualities like problem solving and attention to detail. Cultivating a space for personal, social and professional growth, job training and goal setting.

It is our goal to create an environment of trust, support, and creativity; forming positive relationships and mentorship. Within those relationships, challenging youth to reimagine their futures while providing the tangible steps to reach their full potential.

In The Community

Apart from the after-school program/mentorship side of The Cornerstone Creative, we also open up the workshop space as a place that the entire community can enjoy by providing monthly classes on the basics of woodworking. It is also our goal to host events and provide goods that support other small businesses, organizations, ministries, and other grassroots efforts on Cape Ann!
