Angel Light Academy's (ALA) programs help children, ages 5-18, become leaders by giving them foundational skills, resources, and tools to overcome challenges, make positive change in their lives, and build lasting connections through Peer To Peer Mentorship.
Our Mission is to create Angel's on Earth and foster "Hope for the Future"
Angel Light Academy is proud to have presented the 26th annual Youth Leadership Conference in March of 2025!
This proven program has changed countless lives for the better. Year after year, children return to learn more about leadership in this changing world and to help other children become their best selves. This year there we were excited to work closely on building self-confidence to reduce bullying and create Hope for the Future!
