FUTURE Centers
Lynchburg Beacon of Hope operates a Future Center inside each of Lynchburg’s high schools, E.C. Glass and Heritage. WHAT IS THE FUTURE CENTER? Working in conjunction with the school’s counseling department, these Future Centers serve as college and career access and readiness hubs. They operate during school hours and offer extended hours to accommodate working families. Each Future Center is staffed by a full-time director who serves as a navigator for students and families.
