The Lighthouse is a nonprofit founded in 1893 to ensure that all families have access to safe spaces regardless of where they are born and to provide educational, recreational, cultural, social and economic support for families to improve the quality of their lives. With our two primary locations in Kensington Philadelphia (141 W. Somerset, 19133 and 101 E. Erie, 19140), we are able to provide safe, community spaces where families can escape the challenges of poverty, poor schools, drugs and violence and thrive academically, physically and socially.
