The Lighthouse provides educational, recreational, cultural, social, and economic improvement programs that support youth development, strengthen community connections, and improve quality of life for the families they serve.
The Lighthouse was funded to implement “Poetry in Motion” in partnership with Project Bluebird, providing at-risk youth with violence and drug prevention and trauma-healing opportunities. The program combines Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, conflict resolution, literature, and writing to build emotional resilience, self-expression, and personal growth.
The Lighthouse was funded to expand summer and out-of-school-time programs—including STEM, camp, and sports—that provide high-risk youth with mentoring, recreation, substance use and violence prevention, positive development, and opportunities for families to build connection and heal from community trauma.
