On Martin Luther King, Jr, Day 250 New York middle school students gathered to honor the memory of Dr. King as they begin their five-month participation in the City Year Young Heroes Program.
Mayor Bloomberg joined City Year for the fourth straight year, making City Year New York’s ceremony the first stop on his tour of MLK Day events around the city.
The inspiring Young Heroes Opening Ceremony was immediately followed by a day of service, where City Year Young Heroes, corps members, families, friends, alumni, community volunteers and corporate partners celebrated the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through a day of transformative physical service in Long Island City, Queens.
