“Lighthouse is honored to receive this distinction. To win an award where the judges are the employees is truly humbling. I’d like to thank the staff at Lighthouse. Their dedication, collaboration, and commitment to serving our community inspires me, and I’m grateful for their contributions,” said Paul Haffner, Lighthouse President & CEO.

Lighthouse President and CEO Bob Mecum says a simple mantra guides his work at Lighthouse Youth Services. "We help ourselves by helping others. We make ourselves stronger by helping others. We make our community stronger by helping others. We become a better person in so many ways by helping others, and that’s what makes this country great," he said.

WLWT News 5 provided a Thanksgiving feast for the Lighthouse Sheakley Center for Youth on Monday, November 22. The same day WLWT News 5 Reporter Jennifer Schack told the story of the Sheakley Center and we work each day to make a difference. Thank you WLWT!
