ABOUT:
Lighthouse is a peer-to-peer social support program for students who experience marginalization or discrimination based on who they are. Our groups are relaxed and social in nature. Teens can drop in to share life experiences and feelings, socialize, snack, play games, and share common bonds in Lighthouse’s confidential, non-threatening environment. We build community through art, games, and discussion. No bullying is ever allowed, and everyone is given a chance to be heard in a safe and casual setting. Check out kic_lighthouse on Instagram or Facebook.com/KICLighthouse for up-to-date information.
