Families of Lynden Christian,
In order to build community, we have started a volunteer program! Lynden Christian has been blessed for years with so many faithful volunteers. THANK YOU! We are excited to build community, keep a more centralized list of the opportunities available, and work together for the benefit of LCS. As they say: many hands make light work. There are many ways to use your gifts as an individual or a family. Ten hours per year, per family is the requirement (or, if you prefer, you can pay $200).
Please see below for a list of volunteer opportunities at Lynden Christian School.

Signing in for the first time:
Create a login and sign in at https://helpcounter-kiosk.com/ci/volunteer (Use the email address that you have given to the school).
