The annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service (MLK Day) is just one month away. This year will mark the 25th celebration of MLK Day since Congress designated it as a day of service in 1994 and charged the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to lead this effort.

MLK Day is officially on Monday, Jan. 20, 2020, but volunteer service activities occur throughout the prior weekend (Jan. 17 – 19). Visit the CNCS website to learn how to get involved.
