Steve Leventhal
Steve Leventhal is Executive Director of CorStone, a global nonprofit based in Mill Valley, CA. CorStone develops and implements evidence-based ‘personal resilience’ interventions and research initiatives to improve the health, education, and self-sufficiency of marginalized youth around the world.

 

 
Personal Resilience refers to an individual’s capacity to 'bounce back' and thrive despite significant adversity. Personal Resilience is not an innate talent or quality. Rather, it’s the result of a set of skills and supports that can be learned and cultivated.
 
 
 
Building personal resilience is a foundational step in helping people to thrive—one which is often missing in current global development policies and programs. CorStone believes that cultivating personal resilience represents a significant paradigm shift in worldwide efforts to improve health, increase academic achievement among youth, and reduce poverty.
 
 
CorStone programs combine a low-cost ‘train-the-trainer’ methodology with rigorous certification. Delivered in partnership with governments, schools and local community-based organizations, its programs are effective, sustainable and scalable in even the most low-resourced settings. Since its inception in 1975, CorStone has provided trainings and programs to thousands of youth and children from over 50 countries.
