The Center empowers the Lincoln School community to make positive and sustainable change, to ask the "difficult questions", to address implicit and explicit bias, and to do so with respect, regardless of ability, age, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status.

Description of your role and duties: (include administrative or hands-on or both) Lead with students and mentor to create lesson plans and support growth of student clubs focused on race, gender, sexuality, and environmental justice.

Description of the culture of the place (how many people in the office, dress code, communication style) The students are required to follow a dress code but the teachers dress more relaxed. The center is used as a place for primarily students of color and LGBTQ+ students to relax between classes and meet with clubs so it has a more relaxed feel than a typical classroom. There are also opportunities for professional development.
