MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE

The Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday is an official day of service and
celebrates the civil rights leader’s life and legacy.
Submitted by eschneider on Tue, 04/11/2023 - 13:26


BUILDING A BELOVED COMMUNITY: UNITE, SERVE, TRANSFORM ON MLK DAY

Join us this MLK Day as we come together to build a Beloved Community through
unity, service, and transformation. Let's honor Dr. King's legacy by working
toward a more just and equitable society, where everyone is valued and
respected, regardless of their race, ability, religion, or background. By
participating in service projects, we can bridge divides, heal wounds, and
create lasting change that will benefit our communities for years to come.


ABOUT MLK DAY

MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to
encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. During the
last quarter-century, the MLK Day of Service has grown, and its impact increased
as more Americans embraced the idea that citizenship involves taking an active
role in improving communities.


 AMERICORPS INVITES YOU

 * Engage with your community and create constructive action.
 * Act on Dr. King’s legacy of social justice and equity.
 * Recommit by volunteering to serve others. You can clean up a public space,
   mentor a young person, or help those who are food insecure.




TAKE ACTION THIS MLK DAY OF SERVICE

Together, we can strengthen ties to our communities and one other while we
address critical issues that divide us.
