What does the Houston Omega Lamplighters help the kids with?

• Our program focuses on helping the young men build the best version of themselves. Our "Your Brand" Workshop truly focuses on each Lamplighter, highlighting their best qualities and areas of ​of improvement. Our program has also been instrumental in helping our young men find their voice. Self discipline is another main focus that prepare our guys for many obstacles that they may face.  We mentor so many young men who are born leaders that need some encouragement with their presence when speaking.  By the time they graduate our program many are able to engage an audience like never before. We focus on college readiness by offering scholarship opportunities, tutoring, and an Annual College Tour across states.
