Call to Action
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service
Monday, January 21, is the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, and once again we are all asked to make it a "day on" by committing to community service. Celebrate the true spirit of a man who said that anyone can be a hero, because anyone can volunteer to serve!
The King Day of Service was signed into law in 1987, and since 1994 Americans have been asked by Congress to use this day to get out and serve in the community. Dr. King himself was an incredible model for service. Between 1957 and 1968, he appeared before crowds over 2,500 hundred times to speak out against injustice. For his commitment, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize when he was only 35-years-old -- the youngest recipient ever.
Start your Day of Service planning at MLKDay.gov, where VolunteerMatch has partnered with the Corporation for National & Community Service to power a search engine for Day of Service opportunities.
Today there are more than 4,600 Day of Service volunteer opportunities at MLKDay.gov, and you can get involved with everything from MLK Day parades to mural painting and street clean-ups.
Take a moment today to learn about the Day of Service at MLKDay.gov, and then find a place to get out and serve on January 21. And don’t forget that VolunteerMatch is our favorite resource, year-round, for anyone who has ever had a dream.
