Steve Leventhal Who1 #312649 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. |
