Learn.Serve.Engage.

Lincoln Charter School believes in encouraging students to be civically minded and engaged in the community.  The Learn.Serve.Engage program mandates the completion of service hours each academic year.  Hours can be earned in the community and school.  They may be volunteer service or service-learning hours.

LCS Service Hour Expectations

LSE Hour Requirement Adjustments

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made an adjustment to the required hour threshold for LSE hours.  While some students have found new opportunities for serving the community, we realize that other opportunities have been negatively impacted.  We encourage you to find ways to spread love and kindness by making a positive impact in your community.  

Please remember to use your school-issued email address for your x2Vol account.  Do not set up a new account.  All LCS students have an account within the x2Vol platform.  

Hours can not be approved until the contact/verifier listed in the activity has verified the service hours.  An accurate email must be listed for the contact/verifier.  A parent/guardian can verify the hours.  

In General  

• Students cannot receive payment of any kind for their volunteer service.

• Volunteer service cannot be court ordered.

• Service hours are limited to 10 hours on any given day, which may include reasonable travel outside the Lincoln County area.  

• Services extended to immediate family members do not count.

Steps for Logging Your LSE Service Hours

LSE Log Site – x2Vol.com

It is with great excitement that we announce the new LSE Volunteer Website to keep track of ALL Student volunteer hours. x2Vol brings new features such as more flexibility in account management, input itemized volunteer hours, view LCS service hour goals and hours accumulated, access many LCS community volunteer opportunities and so much more!

x2Vol is for LCS Students grades 3-12 only due to accounts being associated with student email addresses.  Students in grades Kg. – 2nd Grade are encouraged use a paper log until they enter 3rd grade.
