Bring your talent to Lincoln! Lincoln is building new programs in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties that will allow us to serve many more children, youth and families in need. 

Every year, thousands of children are suspended from preschool. Take a second to let that sink in.

On Friday, Contra Costa County District Attorney Mark A. Peterson announced a major expansion of Contra Costa County’s ongoing efforts to combat school truancy. The Thomas J. Long Foundation has awarded a $625,000 grant to the Lincoln to allow Lincoln to collaborate with the county in the effort to reduce chronic absenteeism.  

We have a great team at Lincoln! Our employees are mission-driven, passionate individuals who have come together from all walks of life and experiences to serve children, youth and families. In order to try to acknowledge these outstanding employees, we will be highlighting several of them over the course of the next few months. 

There have been numerous articles flagging the over suspension of black male students in schools. What is not said is how this trend likely reflects a systemic pattern of discrimination by race and gender.
