Referrals to the Lighthouse Program

Referrals to the Lighthouse Program — a service that helps youth and families make lasting changes to avoid involvement with the justice system — can come from multiple sources. These include all three Mesa County school districts, school resource officers, community organizations, community members, or the family itself.

Once a referral is received, it is reviewed and assigned to a Lighthouse Program Navigator (LPN), who then contacts the family to schedule an initial interview. 

The Lighthouse Program can also be an alternative to a summons from law enforcement, part of a truancy case plan, an option to avoid formal truancy court filings, or a resource for families seeking additional support and services.
