Mission
THE OVERALL MISSION OF THE LANTERN PROJECT 1) TO ASSIST PEOPLE WITH BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT BY PROVIDING VOCATIONAL EDUCATION, WORK TRAINING, AND SUPPORT SERVICES, 2) TO PROVIDE A FAITH-BASED PROGRAM DESIGNED TO TEACH LIFE SKILLS TO PEOPLE WITH BARRIERS IN LIFE, 3) TO PROVIDE OR FACILITATE BUILDING PROJECTS, WATER WELLS, HUMANITARIAN PROJECTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND NORTH AMERICA. THE LANTERN PROJECT FEELS STRONGLY THAT THERE EXISTS A RISING DEMAND FOR SKILLED LABORERS, AND THE ORGANIZATION CAN ASSIST WITH FILLING THIS DEMAND BY EQUIPPING EAGER AND HARDWORKING MULTI-NATIONALS, VETERANS, AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO LACK ACCESS TO GOOD TRAINING PROGRAMS AND LIFE SKILL PROGRAMS. THE ORGANIZATION'S CURRENT FOCUS IS ON TRAINING AND ASSISTING REFUGEES.
