About Martin Luther King Jr. Day

City Year Chicago along with youth and community volunteers will perform service and celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This event continues the tradition of corps members, youth and volunteers making Martin Luther King, Jr. Day a “Day-On,” to commemorate the legacy of Dr. King through community building, service and reflection.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is also the Young Heroes and City Heroes Opening Day of service, which engages middle school and high school students, respectively, in leadership development and community service.  Learn more about our Heroes Youth Leadership programs.
