Community Mobilizer

**About us**

Lighthouse Communities Foundation works in the area of skilling and livelihoods for underserved youth. This is a pioneering program with a strong PPP model, an agency-led approach to livelihoods, and a vision of socio-economic transformation. The Lighthouses are run through a public-private partnership that empowers the Government, Corporates, NGOs, and Citizens to work together towards changing lives. The provision of location and capital expenditure for the Lighthouse centers is taken care of by the Government. Corporates contribute through CSR funds to provide operational expenses. NGOs come on board to provide various skilling courses to the youth. With penetration in more than 400 of the 500-odd slum communities of Pune, the program has now expanded to other cities, viz. PCMC, Dombivali, Mumbai, Aurangabad, Nagpur and also States/UTs viz. Delhi, Odisha, and Hyderabad.

**Core Values that drive us**:Empathy | Inclusion | Integrity | Courage

**About the Program**:
The Social and Emotional Learning program for adolescents focuses on challenges faced by them as they are learning to handle new demands in their academic and social life while dealing with new, intense emotions (both positive and negative). Lighthouse Kiran aims to create an environment in which individuals feel secure, have a sense of well-being and are empowered to drive their own learning. Educational attainment will help them develop their core competencies, build agency, decrease drop out rate and increase their focus on livelihood.
