Celebrating Dr. King’s Legacy

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.


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.
