Lighthouse Innovation Center

At Lighthouse Innovation Center (The LIC), we are dedicated to empowering leaders and organizations through collaboration, partnership, development, and strategic consulting. We believe that meaningful change happens at the intersection of collaboration, innovation, and purpose-driven initiatives. We partner with community, corporations, and academia to create more pathways for economic mobility - with a strategic emphasis on women and youth. As a consulting agency with a deep understanding of both the public and private sectors, we help leaders, businesses, and organizations navigate complex challenges, unlock new opportunities, and implement forward-thinking solutions that drive long-term growth and positive societal impact. 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 training, workshops, modules, and a “Next Generation” Young Women’s Leadership Academy to build the necessary capacity, guidance, and governance for inclusive programming and development.
