To inspire, prepare, and empower the next generation of humanitarians.
All LIGHT-related programs and opportunities are built on a foundation of remembrance, compassion, human rights, positive mental health, and the three principles of EIB: Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
LIGHT is a movement across and beyond Southwestern Pennsylvania supporting educators in their quest to inspire, prepare, and empower young humanitarians.
LIGHT has assisted the Northgate Community with starting conversations around the idea of creating communities of belonging. Our students have never been more engaged in making their school and community a better place and we attribute much of that to the opportunities we have been able to take advantage of through LIGHT.
LIGHT has profoundly shaped the worldview of our students at Baldwin-Whitehall. The ability for our students to become EMPOWERED through their learning to achieve a more sustainable and kind world will have generational impact on the Baldwin-Whitehall community and future LIGHT students.
LIGHT has really renewed my passion in teaching. Once I became a coordinator I have a new focus on my classes. In my classroom I try to create an atmosphere of compassion and tolerance. I never took a field trip before LIGHT. They showed me that I could organize and run trips and totally fund them. Now I take my students all over the city and beyond.
