About Us

We are the Lighthouse Lodge Project

The Lighthouse Lodge Project is a Non-Profit,  501(c)(3) organization dedicated to provide support to previously incarcerated women and men.

In 2020, we founded the Lighthouse Lodge Project to make a difference in ex-offenders’ lives.

Recidivism is the problem; we are the solution

Meet some of the team that is making this possible.  We are a diverse set of community members who believe you can bring yourself freedom from addiction and empower your voice to be heard, become unstoppable, and incredibly strong.

This is our dedicated Team
