We're so thankful for Angela Schaefer— partner at Loftin Holt Hall & Hargett LLP and one of the people who helps guide CornerStone from our Board of Directors.
Angela's first step into our work wasn't a board seat. It was a classroom. Back in 2018, before she ever served in our Jobs for Life program, she signed up for our Compassionate Service Training. Years later, she still names it as hugely impactful. In her words, the class "will open your eyes to assumptions you have about poverty and those walking through it that simply are not true or helpful."
That same class is open to anyone in our community — and we'd love to save you a seat.
Compassionate Service Training gently helps us set those incorrect assumptions down and step into relationships with open hands.
You're welcome here whether:
1) You're planning to serve with us this fall in Faith and Finances
2) You lead at a church or nonprofit and want to grow in how your team walks alongside people
3) You're simply curious and want to learn
Thank you, Angela, for leading the way! Signup here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdn0DuVSbggY6uDC5bN-B9NTuB87-OyG3VzswUhCYTHRYLKpQ/viewform
