Purpose

What is the purpose of Beacon of Hope?

To instill in ALL Lynchburg City Public School students the aspiration to attain post-secondary education AND to provide the tools and resources to do so.

  • To ensure that all children who graduate from Lynchburg City Schools are prepared for the next step in life including 4-year college, 2-year college, trade school, technical degrees, industry certifications, or military options
  • To change the culture in the Lynchburg community to a PreK-16 school division
  • To create a stream of qualified, educationally-prepared talent for the greater Lynchburg workforce
  • To improve the quality of life in our community by investing in our most precious resource – our children – who are our future
  • To compile and disseminate data on current and continuing post-secondary education trends for Lynchburg’s youth
  • To provide college and career opportunities for those would not be able to otherwise

“Without Beacon of Hope’s help in pushing Lynchburg College to award me more money, more aid, I just don’t know what I would have done. The support that I’ve received from Mrs. V and the Future Center has been incredible and it means the world.“

~ Jamison Spinner, LCS Class of 2015
