About Us

Our Mission

LITE Builds Creative Pathways through Education and Training resulting in Higher Earning potential for Opportunity Youth and their families.

Our Work

Opportunity Youth are ages 16 - 24 who face challenges in completing school and gaining a foothold into employment. During high rates of unemployment, youth employment takes the longest to recover with slow growth in jobs offering advancement.

LITE creates experiential learning sessions for youth to gain skills and knowledge necessary to achieve self sufficiency and upwardly mobile careers. Collaboration with partners ensures a comprehensive approach to meet needs and strengthen support networks.
