LCCC – Lorain County High School Class of 2021 – Your Summer is FREE – The Class of 2021 can take up to 9 credits for FREE this summer. High School Class of 2021 graduates from Lorain County high schools or a CCP/CIE-partner school with LCCC are eligible for this program.

LCCC has partnered with Lorain County Public Health to create a "no waste" list for individuals wanting to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Individuals complete an online form hosted on the college's website and the information will be shared with Lorain County Public Health. Anyone from the community can complete the online form and do not need to officially be part of the College to join the list. Individuals on this list could be contacted regarding vaccine availability at an existing clinic within the County and would be expected to come to the site of the clinic within a short period of time.

The link to the information is: https://www.lorainccc.edu/security/lccc-prepared/vaccine-sign-up/.

Please join a focus group facilitated by Hilda Hernandez of Legal Aid to discuss what people in your community are struggling with right now. We will discuss how the pandemic has and will continue to shape community need and response to that need. Please select the date/time that works best for your schedule and click on the link below to register. You will receive a $25 gift card for participating in the focus group. For additional information, contact Emily Muttillo at 216-287-3309 or [email protected]
