Volunteer of the Month

Peter Litvinenko

Co-Chair, LLF Visionaries

Peter co-chairs the LLF Visionaries, bringing people together through events that help fund the Foundation’s programs. He discovered Little Lighthouse in 2020, shortly after moving to Miami, while searching for a flexible way to support children and inner-city communities. Though he initially planned to volunteer when his schedule allowed, he soon began showing up every Tuesday for Story Hour. Today, he is one of our longest-serving Story Hour volunteers.

At Story Hour, Peter helps children practice reading, then joins them for games and activities. He values both learning and taking time to connect and have fun. Born in Ukraine, raised in Connecticut, and a New Yorker for 11 years, Peter now owns Friends & Family, a hospitality advisory group serving South Florida. His passion for building community has grown through LLF, where he has found close friends, mentors, and meaningful connections.

Inspired by Joseph Campbell’s words, “Follow your bliss,” Peter believes that following what feels meaningful can open unexpected doors. Thank you, Peter, for your dedication to our children and for helping Miami become a community that gives back!
