Cornerstone ChalleNGe Foundation is an independent, alumni-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
We welcome ChalleNGe alumni and young people from other at-risk youth programs who are building a path toward education, meaningful work, and independence.
Barriers describe circumstances—not a young person’s worth or potential.
Our mission
Our mission
We help ChalleNGe alumni and other young people overcoming barriers turn momentum into lasting progress through scholarships, mentorship, workforce pathways, military and public-service guidance, and practical support.
Experience shapes how we serve.
Experience shapes how we serve.
Our leaders know that a fresh start needs more than encouragement. We combine purpose-specific assistance, mentoring, referrals, and follow-up around the next practical step. Alumni also develop as volunteers and board members, helping shape the organization’s future. Our current work is rooted in New Mexico. We welcome conversations with programs in surrounding states and across the country as relationships and resources grow. Assistance remains subject to eligibility, program requirements, approval, available funding, and donor restrictions.
