Lighthouses is a crime-prevention program managed by Manitoba Children and Youth Opportunities. It is an initiative of Neighbourhoods Alive!
Effective youth programming will include the three "S's": Structured programming, effective Supervision, Skill-building activities.
Prevention research supports that it is important to provide children and youth with positive and supervised activities when school is out and on weekends. Lighthouses were designed to help communities develop and deliver effective programs for children and youth during these critical times. Examples of the programs include recreation, art, music, cultural programming, etc.
