A Lighted Path

Every child deserves someone in their corner🧡
At A Lighted Path, we’re empowering foster youth, strengthening families, and building brighter futures one life at a time. Follow along to see the impact and discover how you can make a difference!✨

At our Milestone Celebration, we had the privilege of recognizing the incredible accomplishments of our Adults in Training over the past year. From graduating high school and starting new jobs to reaching personal goals and growing in confidence, each achievement is a testament to their perseverance, hard work, and determination.

We’re honored to celebrate how far they’ve come and excited to see where their journeys lead next. Congratulations to each of our AITs! We are so proud of you! Thank you to the mentors, volunteers, and supporters who continue to encourage and invest in their success every step of the way. ✨

Lori Gobillot, President of A Lighted Path, recently had the opportunity to speak with youth who are considering extended foster care with the Preparation for Adult Living (PAL) program.

We are grateful for our partnership with DePelchin and for the opportunity to encourage and support these young adults as they begin their journey toward independence.

We were also honored to participate in two recent events: the Aging Out Seminar and the Game of Life event🧡

✨Strong Start Network✨ Our Early Childhood Development team recently hosted another Strong Start Network meeting, bringing together early childhood educators and leaders for a time of learning, collaboration, and encouragement.

Participants engaged in meaningful discussions, shared ideas and best practices, and strengthened the relationships that help support quality early childhood education across our community. 🤝 We are grateful for each educator who joined us and for their continued commitment to investing in our youngest learners.👏

July fun with some of our AITs! ☀️🍽️

We enjoyed a great evening together over dinner at Federal American Grill. It was fun getting out of the dorm with our AITs!

We were honored to deliver several handmade blankets, lovingly crafted by the parishioners of St. John the Divine, to the children at Nabor House. These blankets are just one of many ways of showing that each child is seen, valued, and cared for by their community.

Thank you to everyone who gave their time to make this special gift possible💛

Happy 4th of July weekend from A Lighted Path!

Wishing you a safe, joyful Independence Day❤️🤍💙

Happy Birthday to our incredible President! 🎉

Wishing Lori a wonderful year filled with joy, good health, and countless blessings. Thank you for your unwavering commitment, compassionate leadership, and the passion you bring to A Lighted Path every single day. Your dedication inspires all of us, and we’re so grateful for the vision and heart you pour into serving our community.

We hope this year brings you as much happiness as you bring to so many others. Happy Birthday! 🧡

Strong leaders build stronger communities.

This quarter’s Collaborative for Children Business Meeting focused on The Connected Leader, equipping participants with practical tools for more effective communication. We were thrilled to welcome 56 participants as they invested in growing their leadership skills and strengthening connections within their organizations and communities.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! We’re excited to continue learning, collaborating, and leading together.
