Celebrating Dr. King’s Legacy
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s revolutionary message stretches far beyond his lifetime, beyond streets and counties named for him, and beyond a single holiday on the calendar. It goes beyond inspirational messages—it’s a legacy by which our community can be transformed.
“True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Stride Toward Freedom, 1957
Systemic issues cannot be solved in one day, and we have a long way to go. Join us Jan. 15 for MLK Day of Service as your starting point. Let’s make volunteering a habit. Let’s truly get to know community issues. Let’s build relationships that pursue the peace and justice Dr. King lived and died for.
We’re working side-by-side with communities to build an equitable future for everyone. Check out the range of ways you can get involved.
Ways to Get Involved on MLK Day and Beyond
MLK Day of Service Volunteer Opportunities
We’re committed to partnering with our fellow nonprofits—sharing the projects they need your help with, funding their work with grants, and spreading their missions with volunteer-and-learn education opportunities.
Virtual Education Session Lunch and Learn
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned a world built on justice, equity, and shared humanity. In this session, we’ll explore how volunteers can embody his legacy by shifting from acts of service to building solidarity with communities. Learn what it means to co-dream—collaborating with those you support to amplify their vision and create lasting change.
This is an opportunity to reflect, engage, and rethink how volunteering can be a partnership rather than a one-way street. Join us for a conversation about aligning your efforts with community needs and working together toward a more just future.
