Lighthouse Silicon Valley is a non-profit organization poised to become a regional and national leader working at the intersection of green jobs and basic income to create economic mobility pathways for disenfranchised and disconnected communities of color, youth, and other marginalized populations across the region.

Lighthouse aims to foster a cross-sector network to ensure that the most socially and economically marginalized residents of Silicon Valley would be able to weather the economic and social storms from the pandemic. As a convener, we bring together policy makers, funders, and program implementers to create solutions to systemic challenges that have kept economic opportunities out of reach for communities of color and youth in the foster care system.

Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) provides a path to establishing a community of belonging and support, as we increase opportunities for our most vulnerable populations. We provide JEDI trainings, workshops, modules, and a “Next Generation” Leadership Academy to build the necessary capacity, guidance, and governance for inclusive programming and development.
