Lighthouse Transitional Care
We equip and empower former foster youth to thrive in adulthood
Youth who grow up in out-of-family care in Latvia turn 18 and age out without support.
Without one safe friend or mentor, former foster youth face prison, houselesness, prostitution and repeating the cycles of generational neglect and abuse they’ve experienced.
Lighthouse Transitional Care exists to stop these cycles and to help former foster youth heal from their wounds, thrive in adulthood and know they are deeply loved by God.
Support our work
We can’t do this work without you. The Lighthouse exists because of the generosity of people who believe our youth are precious and deserving of basic human needs as well as deep mental and spiritual healing from trauma.
We are looking for volunteers in Riga who are willing to mentor and disciple former foster youth toward healthy adulthood. You can make a difference simply by walking alongside these amazing young adults.

“I'm so thankful to be part of the Lighthouse. I was in a really bad situation. I didn't have good connections. I'm thankful to God that He brought me here.”
