Lincoln High School

Bella Klosterman was the first student leader of the Environmental Justice Club during the 2018-19 school year. They collectively lead Lincoln High School in the 2019 climate strikes. During the pandemic, the club created an educational program geared towards middle and elementary school students during earth week. As well as leading a panel of youth activists with over 60 attendees. This year, over 200 Lincoln students participated in the Portland Public School’s efforts in the Global Climate Strikes. We hope to continue our fight for both climate and social justice.
