Who We Are

I Found Light Against All Odds is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping today’s youth address social, emotional, and economic issues that they are experiencing in their lives. We are a resource to those that are going through difficult times and provide them with guidance. We truly feel that WE can make a difference in the lives of our youth that do not see the light.

Our Mission & Vision

I Found Light Against All Odds allows community, youth, and families to share the challenges they have faced during their lives while inspiring others to never give up hope and seeing that there is light after darkness.

We provide high risk youth and families with tools and opportunities to break the cycle of poverty, desperation and dependence that dominates their lives, enabling them to become contributing members of our community.


  • We respond to the needs of the youth we serve with respect and hope.

  • We provide youth and families with the resources, tools and attitudes to realize their dreams can happen.
