Recent Projects
Community Day
Community Day is an annual Tufts tradition that celebrates arts, innovation and community. Every year, members of the Medford and Somerville communities join us on campus, along with students, staff, and faculty for a day of live entertainment, family friendly activities, and food. Community partners (including non-profits and municipal resource organizations) as well as student organizations often table on this day, giving members of the community at large an idea of the diversity of opportunities found in Medford and Somerville.
Day of Service
LCS’ 2nd annual Day of Service was on Saturday, April 6 from 10AM - 3PM! LCS engaged more than 100 students to meaningfully serve our community partners in Somerville and Medford. We had several service sites — both on-campus and off-campus — with work centering on various themes such as environmental sustainability, education, and health. We look forward to hosting our 3rd Day of Service in Spring 2025!
Partnership with Jumbos For Non-Profits
The Somerville Homeless Coalition and Tufts Jumbos for Non-Profits recently hosted a Sleep-out event on Friday, November 17, to raise awareness about hunger and homelessness. During this event, there was programming to learn about the issue of homelessness in the Somerville community. Then, some members of the event slept on the Residential Quad of Tufts in solidarity with the homelessness community of Somerville.
Senior Appreciation Event
At the end of the 2023-2024 school year, LCS hosted its second annual Senior Appreciation Event, honoring our graduating seniors of the Class of 2024 and thanking them for the work they contributed to LCS and neighboring communities throughout their Tufts journey. Thank you Class of 2024! Congratulations on your graduation!

Halloween on the Hill
Halloween on the Hill is an annual tradition that brings families from the Medford/Somerville community to engage in Halloween activities and fun with volunteers from Tufts University. LCS, in collaboration with Tufts Athletics, recently hosted this event. Kids, families, and volunteers had a good time together with performances and candy.
