igniting the spark of change through the eyes of our youth.
Welcome to Cornerstone Changemakers
We believe that strong communities begin with empowered youth—and that healing begins at home.
We are a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization established in June 2024 in St. Louis, MO. Our assignment is to restore the broken bonds between families and rebuild our communities from the inside out. By focusing on our young people, we’re planting seeds of hope, leadership, and resilience that will grow into a united, thriving future.
We know our communities have been fractured—by violence, disconnection, and silence. That’s why we’re creating safe spaces where families can come together, where hard conversations can happen without fear, and where our youth are given the tools to become tomorrow’s changemakers.
Here, the village is being rebuilt—one relationship, one conversation, one act of courage at a time.
Welcome to the movement.

Meet our founder
Satoria Littleton
Satoria’s passion for this work is personal. She is the daughter of two community leaders who served their neighborhood through the local high school, church, and a nonprofit of their own. Their legacy of service and leadership continues through her mission today—to rebuild the “village” by bringing families back together, fostering unity, and creating safe spaces where children can play, grow, and thrive.
“Right now,” she says, “our communities have flatlined. But I believe we can bring them back to life—by choosing healing over harm, conversation over conflict, and unity over division.”
Under her leadership, Cornerstone Changemakers addresses critical issues including youth development, mental health awareness, and family restoration. The organization’s programs aim to reduce violence, strengthen emotional well-being, and inspire collective responsibility. Satoria believes that real change begins when everyone recognizes their role and power in shaping the future.
Outside of her work, Satoria is a proud mother of six boys and a lifelong basketball enthusiast. Her creativity and joy for life come through in everything she does, especially in crafting fun, meaningful experiences for children and families.
Above all, she wants her legacy to be one of empowerment. “This work can’t be done by one person,” she says. “It takes all of us. And we all have a role to play.”
