The Center for Civic Engagement

Empowering students to be architects of social change.

The Center for Civic Engagement (“The Center”) offers opportunities for LWHS students to participate in programs related to social justice and equity, service learning, and student leadership. In every case, LWHS students are making a difference – both in the lives of those they serve and in their own. At its core, The Center is an incubator for civics-in-action and a foundation for responsible and effective citizenship through three objectives:

  • Foster and support the integration of service and curriculum.

  • Pilot and sharpen approaches to “learning by doing.”

  • Engage students in addressing pressing community needs.
