MLK Day of Service

“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

Visit OaklandMLK.org for ideas and resources from their 40 Days of Service at Home Actions.

Let Monday, January 16 be a day “on” to reflect on our individual actions, and how we can continue to further Dr. King’s legacy of peace, community, and inclusion.
