Our Mission
A Light in the Dark is a Detroit-based non-profit organization that works to foster meaningful connections between the right mentors and promising mentees. Through partnerships with local organizations and resources, our website is aimed at ensuring that every child has the opportunity to further pursue their passions with the guidance of a supportive and local network.

Whatever they [mentees] need to become, what they can be, we try to not give it to them but illuminate a path so they can get to it themselves
My role as an ambassador (mentor) has made me realize just how much I love working with students – thus sparking my interest in Higher Education
