We advocate, educate and lead the way to social change. Our MissionĬornerstone’s continuum of service helps to create communities where individuals and families are safe and children thrive. Support groups have moved from in-person to online, we’ve increased our clinical therapy capacity to match demand, we’ve partnered with eight other domestic violence agencies to provide safe housing and advocacy at select motels and our youth advocates who work in the schools have pioneered an interactive violence prevention online module for students who are learning from home. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have consistently assessed and modified our programs to maintain crisis response and supportive services while taking steps to ensure that staff and participants are safe. Throughout our nearly 40-year history, Cornerstone has continued to evolve our programming to meet the needs of our community. We have locations in Bloomington, Brooklyn Center and Minneapolis and partner with numerous organizations in the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota to provide seamless advocacy for people seeking help. Since then, we’ve become a multifaceted nonprofit with accessible, innovative and comprehensive services for adults and youth of all genders who are experiencing or have experienced domestic violence, sexual violence, human trafficking or crime.
