We do this through partnerships with the Atascadero Unified School District (AUSD), City of Atascadero, local businesses, service organizations and individual community members.

LIGHTHOUSE Coffee

The LIGHTHOUSE Coffee Company began in 2012. This program was developed to provide hands-on leadership and job training opportunities for the students at Del Rio Continuation High School (now Paloma Creek High School). This business is operated in partnership with Joebella Coffee Roasters, a local coffee company in our community. This business has been growing, providing increased opportunities for our youth each year.
