| Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service January 16, 2012 |
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. believed that, "Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve." During his "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech delivered at Memphis, Tennessee, on the evening of April 3, 1968, Dr. King posed questions in regards to helping and serving alongside our neighbors and if we do not stop to help, what will happen those most in need - and us. These questions hold as much value now as they did then and challenge each of us to do more for our brothers and sisters.
On January 16, 2012, City Year Cleveland will commemorate the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by making it a "day on" instead of a "day off" with service across the community. In partnership with HandsOn NEO, City Year Cleveland will lead volunteers in an afternoon of transformational service with Cudell Recreation Center, Lonnie Burton Recreation Center, Coats for Kids, the Greater Cleveland YMCA and the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority.
For more information on volunteering or having City Year do service at your organization next MLK Day, please contact Toi Comer, Development Director.
