"Everyone can be great because everybody can serve." ~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday, January 18, 2021, is the 26th anniversary of the day of service that celebrates the Civil Rights leader’s life and legacy.
Observed each year on the third Monday in January, MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities.
To learn about National Day of Service, watch the above video and visit the AmeriCorps Volunteer Organization Database to search for readily available volunteer opportunities in our area. Pick an organization that best fits your interest for service to reach out, connect and volunteer with them. Connect to MLK Day of Service on Facebook and Twitter.
Many organizations may qualify for PCSD Students for Community Service credit, check with the PCSD Career Exploration & Community Service Secretary to find out if your program or organization of interest can qualify.
