L&C Volunteers
The L&C Volunteers Program is designed to offer L&C students opportunities to volunteer both locally and globally. The goal of L&C Volunteers is to promote a culture of community service. This program allows students to give back to the community while refining their leadership skills, communication, and community and global awareness.
