Lighthouse Youth Center-Paint Creek (LYC-PC) is a residential rehabilitation center for male adolescents ages 15-18, at admission, who have been adjudicated delinquent for crimes that would be considered a felony one or two for an adult offender. Until 1993, LYC-PC was the only privately owned and managed facility of its type in Ohio. LYC-PC is widely recognized as one of the most outstanding youth corrections facilities in the country with a recidivism rate less than half of traditional institutions.
LYC-PC rehabilitates youth through an intense program which provides positive peer culture and extensive cognitive behavioral intervention. Noted by surveyors for its care of families and profound respect for the young people served, the program was cited by CARF International in 2006 as an “Exemplary” program.
Admission Criteria:
1) 15-18 years old
2) Male
3) Felony offenders without history of serious mental health issues

Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, the LYS Civic Justice Corps is a voluntary program for young men ages 18-22 who have been adjudicated through the Juvenile Justice System. The goals of the program are to reduce recidivism, to reunite the youth with their community in a positive way, encourage their successful education and ultimately to obtain career level employment.
The CJC is based on a Restorative Justice Model and uses Service Learning Projects to heal the harm done to the community through the past behaviors. The Projects are jointly supervised by LYS Case Managers and Lawn Life, Inc. professionals. The CJC provides free landscaping or light construction to organizations that are committed to improving our community and who understand the importance of connecting with and acknowledging the accomplishments of the CJC youth.
Upon completion of 32 hours of Service Learning the youth move into a paid apprenticeship with Lawn Life. During this time they are also receiving Leadership Training, Mentoring, Case Management, therapy if needed, aptitude testing and other supportive services. Education is emphasized and all of the youth are either working on completion of their high school credentials or they are obtaining post-secondary or vocational education.
Additional information about the Lighthouse Youth Services Civic Justice Corps can be obtained by contacting Kathryn Thompson in the Community Management Department at 513-587-6786.
