Stuff the Bus/Desk - This is a school supply drive and distribution project that many LHS student volunteers assist at annually.
Day of Caring - For the past several years, students have participated in this national day of volunteering. Several local groups help coordinate this late October event that attracts hundreds of volunteers. Students at Lincoln High School are encouraged to create their very own projects.
Senior Service Project - Many volunteers look at this as a culminating experience to their time at Lincoln. Seniors are called together to create their own service project. In the past this project has included over 100 students. It has a small budget, lots of responsibility, and fun!
Community Candles - Funds are donated by students and community members to purchase Christmas gifts for children in our area who would otherwise go without. A local agency provides us with a list of children. Students do all the shopping and wrapping. This project begins in late November of each school year.
SmartVote - SmartVote is a service-learning activity held only during presidential elections to increase voter participation and education. This program links several social studies classes to a number of civic organizations in our community. The Student Volunteer Center helps register students who are 18 years old for local spring and fall elections.
