Our mission at Lighthouse is to support individuals, families, and our community through the creation of lifetime partnerships based on understanding Autism as a whole. To lead and innovate research and learning on the spectrum and to drive accessibility of services through collaborative community engagement.
With your help, we will be able to achieve our mission. We strive to grow and deliver enriched programs to our learners. The need to invest in facilities and therapeutic services will provide each child in our centre the opportunity to succeed — we need to raise significant funds, and that’s where you come in.
To serve as a beacon of hope, inspiration and encouragement for individuals and families living with autism spectrum disorder.
SUPPORT, EDUCATE, ADVOCATE
Our values guide our relationships with the students we teach, their families, our partners, our employees and the community.
Everyday at the Lighthouse, we are providing groundbreaking, personalized education that gives every child with autism the opportunity to reach their full potential. The Lighthouse is a place where every child belongs, is valued, respected, and loved.
Our unique, child-centric, and successful model has given our learners the opportunity to become their best selves. Creating an inclusive environment and removing barriers teaches learners the foundational skills to reach greater heights of success. That’s what the Lighthouse provides – a truly exceptional, innovative, and wonderful learning experience for neurodivergent children.
In Canada 1 in 37 children are diagnosed with autism each year. It is imperative to provide a comprehensive education that embodies the importance of life and social skills programming to ensure our kids can succeed and have a community in which they can thrive.
Please join us by becoming a Champion of the Lighthouse Learning and Development Center. Your contributions will ensure we can help more kids reach their full potential and that we can provide even more comprehensive, innovative learning opportunities for children with neurodiversity.
Your investment will go to: Programs, Resources, Therapeutics, Technologies, Facilities, Services and the Scholarship Fund – This is an initiative that help us provide the best possible learning opportunities for as many kids as possible so that they can achieve their true potential.
Due to the extremely limited government and community financial support, many of our students do not receive any funding support at all.
Part of our fundraising goal is to build a scholarship fund so that we can help more students and ensure that our current students are able to avail themselves of our services and programming. We will continue to invest in current, ground-breaking training programs for our staff, to ensure that they are able to provide the best educational opportunities and therapeutic support for our students.
Our mission is only attainable with the help of supporters like you. Help us create a brighter future for neurodivergent individuals to thrive, with personalized and inclusive educational opportunities.

OTHER WAYS TO HELP
Benevity is a popular platform for managing corporate giving and employee engagement in social causes, so if your workplace is using it, there should be multiple ways to find out. If in doubt, contacting HR or your company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) department is usually a reliable method to get information about their charitable initiatives and the tools they use.
