Cornerstone Youth Society
Cornerstone Youth Society is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting at-risk and street-entrenched youth through mentorship, life skills development, and access to essential services. The society operates programs aimed at equipping young people with the tools needed for personal growth, resiliency, and success.
History and Mission
Established as a grassroots organization, Cornerstone Youth Society focuses on prevention by preparing youth for future challenges through personalized mentorship and skill-building programs. It emphasizes the importance of filling young people's "toolbelts" with life skills and strong support networks to navigate life's obstacles effectively.
Programs and Services
One of the society's primary initiatives is the Sanctuary Youth Centre, a drop-in facility located in the basement of the Church of Our Lord in downtown Victoria, British Columbia. Since 2004, Sanctuary Youth Centre has provided a safe, supportive environment for youth aged 14 to 22 who are street-entrenched or at risk. Operating five days a week, the centre offers access to showers, meals, groceries, mentorship, and recreational activities. It serves over 170 youth monthly, ensuring they receive the resources and guidance necessary for stability and personal development.
Alongside Sanctuary, Cornerstone Youth Society runs life skills programs based on the "40 Developmental Assets," a research-backed framework highlighting experiences and traits critical for positive youth development. These programs are tailored to individual cohorts' interests and abilities, and each participant is paired with a mentor for weekly goal-setting sessions focused on overcoming barriers and celebrating successes.
Philosophy
The society adopts a prevention-focused approach, believing that early support and skill-building help youth avoid future hardships. Their motto, "We believe in Youth," reflects their commitment to empowering young people without restrictions, fostering caring, responsible, and successful adults.
Partnerships and Support
Cornerstone Youth Society benefits from partnerships with organizations such as Donate a Car Canada, which facilitates vehicle donations to support the society’s work. These partnerships help sustain their programs and expand services to more youth in need.
Cornerstone Youth Society operates under the business registration number 885573139RR0001 and continues to contribute significantly to youth welfare in Victoria and the surrounding areas through its dedicated programs and community engagement.

🙏 Faith Friday Recap: Let’s Talk About Work 🍞🛠️ Today at Sanctuary, we gathered for a powerful Faith Friday conversation all about work, the different kinds of work people do, why we work, and how it connects to our purpose and design. From labour and trades, to artistry, farming, and government service, we explored how every job, no matter how big or small, can be meaningful when done with love and service in mind. We also talked about the challenges that come with work, burnout, lack of passion, and tough conditions, and reflected on how God walks with us through it all. And as we wrapped up, we remembered to thank God for our daily bread, for the strength to work, and for providing what we need each day. 🙌 📖 “Give us today our daily bread.” – Matthew 6:11 #FaithFriday #SanctuaryYouth #WorkWithPurpose (fb)
