One Stone Inc.

One Stone makes students better leaders and the world a better place. As a student-led and directed 501c(3), One Stone empowers students to develop valuable skills and learn important values by leading engaging, experiential service projects that transform individuals and communities. In all projects, students seek understanding and authentic connection with the population served. Through this process we achieve a double bottom line of success: 1) Students learn and practice critical 21st century skills: leadership, teamwork, adaptability, problem solving, confidence, creativity, empathy, communication, awareness of community issues and the ability to make change with 90% measured success. 2) One Stone projects transform individuals and communities for lasting impact, creating community constituency beneficiaries. One Stone uses design thinking to develop projects reflecting our values: ownership, experiential service, empowerment, equality of voice, community and innovation.
