Drawing from The Haitian Project’s Charism (spiritual identity), service is at the core of Louverture Cleary School. The LCS Outreach Program is an example of the Charism in action, offering a wide variety of services to support the school's neighborhood community. 

One important support activity is Klèb Jenn Moun (Young People/Youth Club), whose members are teens and young adults from the neighborhood around the school. The club is facilitated by staff and older students with the purpose to empower, educate, and include young community members in the formative culture of LCS. 

In late June, the LCS Outreach Program hosted a detergent-making workshop for approximately 60 Jenn Moun members. Continuing the practice of giving back to the community, the workshop was organized by three LCS graduates and also facilitated by an LCS alum.

The goal of the training, as explained by Outreach Program Director Carolande L. (LCS ’15), was "to teach the youth of the club how to make detergent in order to equip them with practical skills, innovation, and self-sufficiency, and to create entrepreneurial opportunities."

Whether it is providing the youth of the neighborhood with life skills through Klèb Jenn Moun, giving parents a safe place to send their children through the  Koukouy Sen Klè early childhood development program, offering tutoring to neighborhood children and young adults through the Lekòl Ankourajman after-school tutoring program, or providing other forms of essential support, the LCS Community Outreach Program is just one way the LCS community lives its commitment to put others first through service.
