Poverty, youth violence, and limited resources are just a few of the obstacles confronting our communities, creating an inherited debt for our children as each day passes. Currently, too many of our urban schools are producing fluctuating academic outcomes for youth, due to historic neglect, lack of leadership, and/or effective strategies for overall success.
We are dedicated to achieving academic excellence in the lives of youth using mentorship, counseling, sports & performing arts as effective alternatives. The Lighthouse Youth Center’s model for youth enrichment has been, and will continue to educate, inspire and transform Chicago youth. " | | Hits: 16 | Report Broken Link | |
