The Lighthouse Community Centers are an outreach of Mariners Church providing volunteer-based programs reflecting Christ’s transforming love by building community, strengthening families and growing individuals.  There are two community center locations in inner-city neighborhoods historically known for extreme poverty, dense populations and high school drop-out rates. One located in Santa Ana’s Minnie Street neighborhood and the other in the Wilshire Avenue area.  The centers provide daily academic assistance to children and teens through after-school programs working with small groups of children and individually with teens to help them be successful with their daily assignments and projects. The center’s goals are to equip volunteers and community leaders to meet unique, holistic needs of the communities.  Additional programs include a children’s Character Club, teen youth groups, camps, field trips, a computer lab, and teen art and photography classes.  The centers also offer adult education programs in Spanish literacy, ESL (English as a second language), citizenship, community leadership and parent education.
