The Lighthouse Youth Center reaches youth with the message of the Gospel
to empower & equip them to live out their God-given purpose & potential in life.
HOW WE IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY
Spiritual Development
At each Lighthouse program, youth participate in a time of devotions led by staff and community volunteers. This is an opportunity for youth to engage with the Gospel message and fosters spiritual growth & development. Our heart is for every student who comes to the Lighthouse to experience the power and presence of God in their everyday lives!
After School & Summer Programs
Lighthouse programs provide a safe place for youth where they can build positive relationships and engage with recreational and educational activities. This program is open weekday afternoons throughout the year and is free to all Oxford area youth ages 9-18.
Snacks & Meals
The Lighthouse provides free snacks and nutritious meals as part of each youth program. This is a valuable resource to families in our community to know that their children always have access to a hot meal each evening during the week.
Educational Support
We get it, homework isn't always fun or easy. That's why the Lighthouse is open each Tuesday and Thursday throughout the school year to provide a focused environment where youth can receive free homework support from Lighthouse staff and community volunteers.
Positive Relationships
We believe that significant change most often occurs within the context of significant relationships. Because of this, the Lighthouse seeks to fill the relational gap that many youth experience by providing safe and caring adult staff and volunteers who are consistently present to build positive relationships and offer needed encouragement and support.
Scholarship Program
The Scholarship Program is for Lighthouse youth who choose to continue their education after high school at a college, university, or trade school. Youth are eligible to apply for scholarship grants that provide valuable financial assistance to achieve their dream of pursuing higher education.
