Seattle Martin Luther King Jr Coalition holds an annual MLK Celebration to celebrate and honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy. The event includes a rally, internships, workshops, youth led programming and job fair.
A signature part of the celebration is the annual march in honor of the peaceful protest that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led during the civil rights movements to fight for equality.
And what’s a good march without signs?
Garfield High School campus, where the festivities will take place is a large space so we are combining efforts with our United Way Emerging Leaders 365 young professionals and the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle Young Professionals to recruit volunteers to help people prepare for the march!
Volunteers will help by getting signs ready to distribute for the march right after the workshop and rally. Volunteers will be strategically dispersed throughout the Garfield High School parking lot to pass out signs. Handing out signs will begin at 11:45 am on January 20. You are welcome to come early to partake in additional activities in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.
This opportunity is hosted by Emerging Leaders 365 and all are welcome to volunteer. Each opportunity supports United Way of King County’s mission to work side-by-side with communities to create a more equitable future for everyone! Ensuring everyone in our community has access to housing, food security, educational opportunities, and financial stability.
