Dallas Community Lighthouse "Lighting the Pathways to Success"
Dallas Community Lighthouse was organized as a non-profit organization in November 2002, to address one of the most profound problems in Dallas: children not completing their education. Our programs, staff, director and Board of Directors are committed to the at-risk students of Dallas County and it is our goal to make a life long impact on these students.
Our Mission: "Assisting at-risk youths in discovering pathways to success by concentrating on their social, educational, personal and environmental issues."
Our Vision:To produce future, productive citizens of Dallas County.
"Kids Campus" is an on-site after school tutoring program located in low income or tax-credit apartment communities in both North and South Dallas. Our programs are tailored to the individual communities and provide educational services to both children and adults of the community.
