The Martin Luther King, Jr., National Day of Service is a defining moment each year when Americans across the country take action to create the Beloved Community of Dr. King’s dream.
MLK Day is a federal holiday and designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. This year, we celebrate 30 years of MLK Day of Service and its impact as more Americans embrace the idea that citizenship involves taking an active role in improving communities.
The MLK Day of Service is Monday, Jan. 20. Host, partner, and engage service.
