With its roots dating back to 1893 as a settlement house, The Lighthouse has been a steadfast presence in Philadelphia. For over a century, we have been dedicated to serving the communities of Kensington, Fairhill, and North Philadelphia, addressing their diverse needs through educational, recreational, and economic programs. Our mission is to elevate the quality of life in these communities, fostering self-sufficiency among our members and guiding our youth to become empowered contributors to society.

The Lighthouse has been a beacon of hope for more than 127 years, offering children access to transformative classrooms, enriching after-school activities, and exceptional inner-city sports programs. When you volunteer with us, you become an essential part of this legacy, helping us not only endure but thrive in an ever-changing world. Your contribution celebrates children’s access to quality education, extraordinary after-school experiences, and unparalleled sports programs right in the heart of our city.

Join us in making a lasting impact on the lives of children and families in our community. Volunteer at The Lighthouse and become a beacon of hope today!
