National Longhouse, Ltd. is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to strengthen parent-child relationships in a manner that is based upon Christian ideology. We service communities with our NATIONAL LONGHOUSE^® programs which are designed specifically for one-on-one parent-child interaction within a group setting. Each program helps build inter-family, communal, and spiritual relationships through shared, structured activities. We integrate a Native American theme which serves as a common level of interest for parent and child as well as providing an educational tool for casual introduction to Native American culture.

Besides administrating our national programs, we serve as a national resource center for all parent-child programs. We provide supplementary support with parent-child programing concepts, news, history, ideas for games, crafts, stories, songs, program vendor listings, and archiving of other helpful information.

Our administration for National Longhouse serves as a hub for linear and non-linear inter-program communication, support, and resourcing between our national, regional, and local levels.

Now fully independent, National Longhouse, Ltd. once grew as a subsidiary of Lighthouse, Inc. . . a nondenominational, independently operated, 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. Since 1982, Lighthouse has provided food, clothing, and ministry to the children and inner-city families of greater Cleveland with its Heaventrain Program. It works closely with the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority in developing programs that provide education, children & youth mentoring, leadership, and training.

The National Longhouse organization is dedicated to, and driven by its mission statement:

"To promote Christian programming and activities that are challenging and fun, to nurture harmony and companionship between parent and child through the NATIONAL LONGHOUSE^® programs, providing information and services through out."
