Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

Join us for a day on not a day off at our annual MLK Day of Service to celebrate the legacy of Dr. King

As a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service to others, City Year considers Martin Luther King Day as a day ‘on’ not ‘off’. Each MLK Day, City Year mobilizes its 3,300 AmeriCorps members and thousands of volunteers for a day of service in communities across the nation. In coordination with local partners, City Year AmeriCorps members and volunteers engage in service projects that include painting schools, beautifying neighborhoods and parks, and assembling community resource kits. Check out photos from last year’s event at this link!

J.O. Wilson Elementary School

All schools are accessible via public transportation, including bus, rail, and streetcar. Only limited street parking is available around each, so driving is not recommended. Coach bus parking is available in the Union Station parking garage nearby. Volunteers will be assigned to a specific school location for check-in via email a few days in advance of the event.
