Ben’s Lighthouse
Ben's Lighthouse was founded in honor of 6 year old Ben Wheeler, full of energy, love and light (and a dash of mischief), who lost his life at Sandy Hook School on December 14, 2012.
Our mission drives us to foster all children’s potential to build a more compassionate and connected world. Ben’s Lighthouse offers The Isle of Skoo™ program that helps kids and teens develop empathy, self-awareness and social connection. The lighthouses that Ben loved provide the perfect metaphor that guides our work. Through music, puppetry and mentorship, participants are encouraged to find and share their own light – to stand tall and shine bright!
