History
Vikki Luna is the founder and CEO of The Light-House Recovery Program.
Since 2007, the faith-based program has served women recovering from drug and alcohol abuse. The Light-House strongly depends on the support of our surrounding communities for recovery services. To train women in workplace skills and help the organization financially, in 2015 Vikki created two businesses, Light-WEAR, an apparel line, and Cornerstone Coffee Company.
Criminology is Vikki's field of study. She worked in the juvenile institution and substance abuse services, where her vision for The Light-House was born. Vikki's passion is to help hurting women discover who they are and whose they are in Christ. Over eighty percent of the women who go through the program are successful in their recovery and go on to live rich, meaningful lives. Vikki empowers women to be all they can be to help strengthen the next generation.
Vikki serves on the advisory committee for Center for Community Transformation at Fresno Pacific University. She is a member of Hispanic Foundation, Polka Dot, and Fresno Women's Network. She Co-Hosted Angels of the Light Podcast and posts Vikki's 2 Minute Tip every week on Facebook and YouTube.
Program accomplishments
Although both residential and non-residential programs offer recovering students a shorter program than many other addiction recovery centers, the majority of women experience successful long-term recovery through our intensive therapy, education, and work sessions.
