3 Tell your friends about CornerHouse. It is fun to volunteer as a group. While volunteering at CornerHouse, I ve had the amazing opportunity to brighten the lives of children who ve suffered abuses and have been able to learn about the Child First philosophy that is at the heart of what makes CornerHouse, and its staff, so special. It has been an absolutely invaluable experience by allowing me to see how the interview process works when it involves young, impressionable children who can be so often be too shy or too distracted and energetic to interview without a very careful and deliberate approach. I ve gained so much from my time here working with these children and their families who come from a great variety of socioeconomic backgrounds and would not trade my time here for anything. - Daniel Jaeger CornerHouse is certified by Hands On Twins Cities (HOTC) and Points of Light as a Service Enterprise Organization.
