One Stone learner Grace K. and Coach Allison Parker made an unexpected connection. Both of them were searching – searching for purpose, meaning and belonging – when they formed a bond that has changed them both for the better. They revealed their moment of connection to our supporters at the One Event 2020.
This is a story of insight. Sammi E., a student at Riverstone School, joined One Stone’s Project Good, hoping to make a difference in a little known public health problem: social isolation. At the One Event 2020, Sammi shared her moment of insight, explaining how understanding the residents of a housing development for seniors, veterans and adults with disabilities revealed a meaningful way to brighten their lives.
The One Event is about student voice. This year’s theme, The Power of Moments, was a chance for students to share personal stories about the One Stone moments that have changed their lives. Liam N.’s story is about a moment of elevation – a moment that might have otherwise fallen victim to the frailties of memory and simply drifted away with time, but instead became fixed in his mind as something special. Something ELEVATED.
At the One Event 2020, several One Stone students shared deeply personal stories about moments that have changed their lives. Christian R., a learner in our lab school, took the stage to tell about how One Stone helped him regain a sense of pride – something he once risked to try to fit in with a group of so-called “friends.”
Join us Sat. Feb. 4th at 6pm for the One Event–an evening of inspiration in support of One Stone! Funds raised at this event help us offer all of our after school programming at no cost to kids or their families–because everyone should have the opportunity to become a better leader & make the world a better place!
One Stone makes students better leaders and the world a better place – with the help of the community. One Stone does not charge any membership dues or fees to ensure that all students, regardless of ability to pay, can access our programs. We believe the opportunity to change the world should not be related to economic background or financial standing.
More than 350 community-minded people gathered at One Stone’s annual fundraising event, ONE, on Saturday, January 31 for an evening of disruption.
The event, now in its fourth year, showcased the power of student voice to disrupt for good: the opportunity to make a positive change in the status quo (for good) and for lasting impact, for good.
