Plan Ahead:
Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service - January 15, 2024

MLK Jr. Day of Service will take place on January 15, 2024 and will bring together 1,500 students to serve and learn together. The Marvin Center is coordinating service projects – both on and off campus – for students to participate in as individuals and groups. Each student will earn 3 service hours for participating in the event. We hope that this can be the largest showing of community service that BGSU has organized since the COVID-19 Pandemic.
 
Students can sign up via BGSUserves for any of the volunteer opportunities, here. Volunteer opportunities will continue to be added in the coming weeks.
