LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL VOLUNTEER PROJECT


The Lincoln High School Volunteer Project is a program that is available to all students on a voluntary basis.  No academic credit is given for participation in this program. 

Our student volunteers assist with numerous activities in our local area on an annual basis.  Some of them are:  Make a Difference Day, Community Candles, Riverview Hospital Teen Volunteer Program, Tutor Programs, and the Senior Class Service Project.  LHS students also volunteer on an "as needed basis".  Activities may include working with non-profit organizations/clubs, community professionals, children, peers, teachers, special needs individuals or the elderly.  This program helps connect the needs of our community with student volunteers.

Student volunteers are encouraged to log their hours and reflect on their volunteer activities in a "community passport".  This passport will not only enable students to see their growth as a volunteer, but may be valuable in taking on job interviews or preparing for college/scholarship opportunities.  Students who accumulate a set  number of hours will earn special recognition at the end of each semester and at graduation.  Passports are available in the Student Volunteer Center.  If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the Lincoln High School Volunteer Center at 422-7217 or by email at lhsvolunteers@wrps.org.

TEEN PARENT - No. 897, 898
Lincoln High School offers two options for pregnant or parenting teens. Eligible students can be involved in one or both options listed below. All teen parents are encouraged to take a full class schedule although schedule variations may be considered.  See your counselor or Teen Parent Coordinator for more information.

1. Teen Parent Classes can be taken for 1/2 Phy Ed or elective credit. These classes are offered to any teen parent expecting a child or already raising a child. The first class, Teen Parents I, centers on prenatal concerns such as proper diet and pregnancy care, physical changes, emotional needs, labor, and delivery. The second class, Teen Parents II, concentrates on the care of newborns, the role of being teen parents, and offers assistance in dealing with the adjustments and decisions facing young parents.

2. T.A.P.P. (Teen-Age Parent Program) is a support-based network available for teen moms, teen dads, and the families of teen parents. Each of these informal support groups aid students in coping more effectively with the responsibilities, concerns, and stresses of parenting. Regular meetings are scheduled throughout the school year.
