"Everyone can be great because anyone can serve."
- The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, 2008, 160 Cleveland middle school and high school students gathered to honor the memory of Dr. King and begin their five-month participation in the Young Heroes and City Heroes programs.
The inspiring Heroes Opening Ceremony was immediately followed by a day of service, where City Year Young Heroes, City Heroes, Cleveland corps members, families, friends, alumni and corporate partners celebrated the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through a day of transformative service in Cleveland neighborhoods.
For more information on this kickoff event, please read the MLK Day 2008 Press Release. Our Young and City Heroes programs are described here.
