Why Lighthouse

A team that shows up for each other and for the people we serve

For over 100 years, Lighthouse Mission has been a grace-based, radically hospitable team where every role contributes directly to healing homelessness.

Mission-driven work

Every day at Lighthouse is connected to something bigger than a job description. You will see the impact of your work in the lives of real people.

Grace-based culture

We extend the same grace to our team as to the people we serve. This is a place where people are valued, supported, and challenged to grow.

Community that cares

Our staff describe a culture of genuine care, shared purpose, and the kind of team that makes showing up every day feel like a privilege.

Growth and training

We invest in our people through paid training, certification opportunities, and a culture of continuous learning that helps everyone grow.

Staff benefits

We take care of our team

Full-time staff at Lighthouse Mission receive a competitive benefits package that reflects how much we value the people who make this work possible.
