JOIN US AT THE 2023 LITTLE LIGHTS BENEFIT!
On Saturday, October 28th, we will gather for our favorite night of the year - the Little Lights Benefit! We will celebrate those whose lives have been profoundly impacted by Little Lights as students and have returned as adults to be full-time staff members and leaders. Together, we can provide the necessary resources to create a lasting cycle of impact and empowerment in DC's public housing communities.
We hope to see you there!

Become a mentor today
The goal of Christian mentorship is to support students relationally, spiritually, and emotionally, exposing them to new ways of learning, exploring, and growing. We do this by pairing a Christian volunteer mentor with a student for a one-to-one mentoring relationship.

After two years living in DC General homeless shelter with her two children, Jaylyn and Jerry, she had finally received a rental voucher and had moved into an apartment in Potomac Gardens public housing. She was starting to get her feet under her, and the next step was to find employment.
