Amy Robinson Executive Officer, Greater Shepparton Lighthouse Project

At Lighthouse, we understand that a strong start in life for our youth is the key to building productive and thriving communities. Our collective impact approach, grounded in deep community collaboration, allows us to leverage the strengths of our region to ensure that our children are empowered to contribute to their own success and the prosperity of our area.

Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley are communities defined by resilience, innovation, and a collective spirit that was the catalyst for Lighthouse being launched 10 years ago. These same characteristics continue to drive our work today. The entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering dedication to social progress in our region have been the foundation of our efforts to support children and young people.

As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we reflect on the incredible contributions of local change-makers, thought leaders, and innovators who are unafraid to tackle challenges head-on. Together, we’ve cultivated a culture of optimism, collaboration, and a “whatever it takes” attitude. This spirit not only makes Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley resilient but also a community where progress is continually realised. Lighthouse is proud to be part of this journey, committed to continuing our mission of fostering youth success and driving regional prosperity.
