Making it Simpler to Serve

Project Lighthouse is a modern and intuitive platform that helps leaders recruit and mobilize volunteer teams to meet needs in our community.

Our Story

We asked the question, "Why can today's best apps make it easy to meet people, buy things, and push matches of what I should or could WANT or BUY, but to SERVE OTHERS we have to hunt for Opportunities across the web and each Org's data silos across our community?" Why can't it be Simpler to Serve?.

In the spirit of the open source movement, the Project Lighthouse team has been collaborating since 2016 to define, scope, build, test and deploy the first Volunteer Management solution built for Volunteers, by Volunteers. The initial use cases came from non-profit and faith community leaders that struggled to recruit, coordinate and mobilize volunteers for city-wide service days and small missions teams meeting discreet community needs.
