Our Mission: Building community through creativity, collaboration, and access to life changing opportunities in South Lake County. The Lincoln Park South Lake Alliance (LPSLA) was established as a 501(c)(3) in July 2020โ to formalize the efforts started by community members who formed the Lincoln Park Impact Committee. The Alliance will comprise of committees and projects with the first project b
eing a Community Center for the Lincoln Park community. The Lincoln Park South Lake Alliance is an advocacy group who provides outreach to find out community needs, establish plans, and collaborate to execute programs and projects that fulfill the needs of the community. and South Lake County. The Lincoln Park Impact Committee was formed shortly after community pastors, leaders, and citizens who attended the historical Lincoln Park School, now known as Clermont Elementary, were informed that the school would be closed in 2023. Clermont Elementary will be closing in 2023 when the Lake County School Board builds the new Aurelia M. Cole Academy K-8 School. This is now a subcommittee under the Alliance that will focus on preserving Clermont Elementary as a historical building. The goal is for the building to remain in the community and function as a Community Center for Education, the Arts and Sports. The Center would provide Educational Programs, Employment Training/Entrepreneurship, the Arts, and Recreation. The Impact Committee members and supporters believe South Lake is in need of a facility where everyone can come together to build community, close education gaps, provide employment training and leadership skills, collaborate, create, and interact through the arts and recreation activities.
