Empowering the next generation of climate leaders
At the Lighthouse Trust, our mission is to represent and uplift environmentally conscious young people. We’re dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities for their personal and professional growth—helping them lead the way toward a more just, sustainable future.
Our ethos
Our work is rooted in the belief that every child—no matter their background—has the right to grow up in a clean, healthy, and sustainable world. This principle, aligned with the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, guides everything we do.
Today’s young people are inheriting the consequences of environmental decisions they didn’t make. That’s why we’re committed to equipping them with the knowledge, critical thinking skills, and platforms they need to speak out, take action, and shape a future that reflects their values and vision.
“
Our perspective should be taken seriously, not only for our own benefit, but for older and future generations too.
