Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service: Make It A Day On, Not A Day Off


Dr. King once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" The MLK Day of Service on Monday, January 20th is an opportunity to remember Dr. King's life and recommit ourselves as citizens to answer that question by volunteering to serve one another and our communities. How will you participate tomorrow?


Check out MLK Day of Service at AmeriCorps for more information and resources and make your upcoming day off a day on!
