Please join us online Thursday, October 29th, at noon for the Lighthouse Virtual Fall Event.
This free event will include video tours of two Lighthouse locations that young people call home, the Sheakley Center for Youth and the Youth Development Center. The Sheakley Center for Youth is a shelter for young people ages 18-24 experiencing homelessness. The Youth Development Center is a residential treatment home for boys. This is a unique opportunity to go inside the doors where young people work to heal and grow.
