About Us
Our ValuesSince 2006
Serving the Latino Community
A beautiful journey
We seek to offer the Latino families hope for a positive and healthy future and to build bridges between the Latino community and the greater community by facilitating cross-cultural relationships that bring new understanding and benefits to all.
We help families make informed choices about what to keep from their old culture and what to adopt from the new culture through education and life enrichment programs, as well as character and leadership development activities.
We currently serve over 150 children of first generation immigrant families in the Old Town neighborhood of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Because the path to high school graduation begins in infancy, LCS helps mothers discover how to prepare their babies for kindergarten. Reading well by third grade is a marker for future academic success, so LCS’s Family Literacy Initiative focuses parents and children on that goal.
And because the transitions to middle school and then high school are danger zones for immigrant students with low socioeconomic status, LCS helps students and parents navigate those waters.

Why Volunteer?
Volunesia
Volunesia is a noun created within Filipino vocabulary that means, “That moment when you forget you’re volunteering to help change lives, because it’s changing yours.”

One of the more well-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make a real difference to the lives of people, and organizations in need.
is good for your mind and body
The social contact aspect of helping and working with others can have a profound effect on your overall psychological well-being. Nothing relieves stress better than a meaningful connection to another person.
brings fun and fulfillment to your life
Volunteering is a fun and easy way to explore your interests and passions. Doing volunteer work you find meaningful and interesting can be a relaxing, energizing escape from your day-to-day routine of work, school, or family commitments. Volunteering also provides you with renewed creativity, motivation, and vision that can carry over into your personal and professional life.
