Our Story
Rooted in Service. Built for Impact.
Light Keepers Collective was born from a shared passion for helping others and a deep love for the Clay County community. Our founders and board members come from diverse backgrounds in education, social services, nonprofit leadership, and community outreach — and we’ve each seen firsthand the challenges that families face when support systems are out of reach.
After years of working in agencies, schools, crisis response teams, and grassroots initiatives, we recognized a gap: people needed more than just referrals — they needed access, practical tools, and a place to grow without judgment.
So we created one.
Light Keepers Collective is our response to that need — a space where learning is free, support is real, and every person is treated with dignity. We believe lasting change happens when people are empowered, not rescued. When community members lead alongside each other — not above one another.
This is more than a nonprofit — it's a movement of people who believe in lighting the way forward, together.
