Hear From The Locals

Regarding Beacon’s Winter 2023 event - “It was a much-needed gathering in our community. The Beacon team successfully brought together many organizations, leaders, and community members in a well-run, comfortable, positive, and informative event. We were able to come together, enjoy some great food, network, and learn about many ways to plug in and contribute to a stronger and more just community. As a long-time activist and volunteer in this area, I'm so thankful Beacon is now here and sharing the work so many organizations are doing, and developing their own important mission. I'm already looking forward to the next gathering!"

Empowering Locals through Direct Service

In a time of oversaturation & stimulation, maintaining a strong online process is harder than ever before. Opportunities to showcase work, get the word out about events & programs, or even find the right help can easily be missed - Beacon is here to help.

We help groups find the right technology for them - we conduct extensive research on how to help you stand out & get to the work you care about.

Beacon has a team of volunteers who can help with your content creation, video/audio editing, networking, web development & much more.

Reach out and we can schedule a meeting today!
