Center for Peace, Equity, & Justice through Service

Lincoln School formally opened the Center for Peace, Equity, and Justice through Service in 2007. The Center's mission and vision statements speak directly to the school's broader mission, emphasizing "a shared reverence for all individuals," an embrace of "the values of Lincoln School," as well as "practices that celebrate diversity, inspire service, and foster a culture of peace." The goal of The Center is to facilitate ongoing programs in the areas of diversity, service, and Quakerism, to promote new initiatives in these realms, and, above all, to help the school create "new models of inclusion."
