April – May 2025 | Othello, WA

At the Lighthouse, we’re committed to helping youth and families dream bigger and live better. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to this spring!

Youth Programs

Mentor Match Celebration
We honored 8 teen entrepreneurs at a banquet with family, awards, and a keynote by Adan Garza.

After-School Fun
25 students planted flowers in decorated pots and graduates personalized their caps.

Girls Circle Growth
Four girls graduated from our 8-week wellness program. The group toured CWU and visited the Seattle Aquarium—an unforgettable experience for all.

1:1 Youth Mentoring
We continued personal mentoring focused on mental health and future planning. One student shared:

“I felt like you saved my life.”

Thanks to Janell Wood and family, the Closet got a full makeover—organized, welcoming, and open for teens during lunch and after school.

Community Initiatives

Gang Awareness Workshop with local law enforcement and Behavioral Health.
Facility Support for Unidos, Parent to Parent, FCA, and Strengthening Families.
