Programs & Support After School Program
Social and Emotional Learning Curricula for at-risk Youth
Candle Making for Kids!
Candles have come a long way since their initial use. For more than 5,000 years candles were used as a source of light. With our afterschool program:
-
Students can improve access to care
-
Allow for early identification and treatment of mental health issues.
-
Students have been linked to reduced absenteeism and better mental health outcomes.
School and Community Nutrition Program
Feeding over 5,000 children in schools and communities has helped the environment through nutritious meals, healthy snacks, and opportunities for physical activity and nutrition education. Schools have reported their students are more excited to stay after school, and the outcome of the program has enhanced their willingness to learn by contributing to their physical and mental well-being.
Community Outreach
We are committed to providing food and nutrition to families struggling with hardship. Giving Light Inc. consistently forms strong partnerships with local constituents in the community to advocate for programs and services that will help alleviate food insecurity in our communities.
We have distributed food and cooked nutritional meals to thousands of families and local schools for over fifteen years, and will continue to do so!
Neighborhood Revitalization Program designed by youth!
By advocating for the homeless, this program has provided more affordable housing to single families, individuals, and veterans who would otherwise be living in hotels, cars, and shelters.
Investing in communities’ revitalization has led to measurable increases in access to employment, supportive services, community amenities, transportation, quality, and affordable housing stock; providing financial incentives to our young people with opportunities to learn carpentry, plumbing, roofing, flooring, and electrical installation by working with master professionals in these fields
