Mission Statement & Core Values

Lincoln Action Program's belief in human dignity inspires us to work with families and partners to fight poverty and build a stronger community.

Lincoln Action Program recognizes that poverty affects not only those that are living in it but the entire community. We work from the following set of core values.

 Compassion & Respect

• For those we serve
• For our community
• For people’s skills and abilities

 Excellence

• Through financial integrity
• Through personal accountability in all we do
• Through our ability to empower clients to move toward self-sufficiency

 Diversity

• In the services we offer
• In the people we serve
• In our staff

 These core values reflect what is truly important to us as an organization. These are not values that change from time to time, situation to situation, or person to person; these values are the basis of our organization’s culture.
