THE LIGHT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, INC.
"Daily Work for Generational Impact." Cassandre Davis, Ed.D.
The Light Community Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to empowering families and children through access to resources, meaningful experiences, and dedicated advocacy. Our mission is to support the social emotional development of children while equipping their parents/guardians with the tools and knowledge to navigate the education system.
ACCESS
1
Access to Experiences
We believe children should have the opportunity to be free of judgment, have impactful experiences, and organically build community with their peers. As such, we created a movement entitled IRL, where we choose to leave electronics at home, and have fun together IN REAL LIFE.
We provide opportunities for children (ages 6 to 14) to naturally connect with their peers through activities in enjoyable and welcoming settings. Each month, we host events that nurture the mind, body, and spirit. Activities include:
-
Museum Visits
-
Children’s Game Night
-
Park excursions
-
And more…
