Who We Help

We provide core services to refugees, asylum seekers, and legal immigrants, offering a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment where people can access key resources: life skills and job readiness classes; paid job training opportunities; ESL instruction; citizenship preparation classes; and a corner market. We also provide wrap-around support services such as clothing, household items, school supplies, bus passes, industry-specific tools, and employment assistance.

Our Impact

Since our founding, Lighthouse Charities has earned the trust of the refugee communities and the confidence of the individuals receiving services. We have garnered a strong reputation in the Las Vegas valley, and is highly regarded as a lead resettlement agency, working with dozens of community partners and more than 900 volunteers each year in support of refugees.
