Honoring the man who had a dream
"...everybody can be great, (Everybody) because everybody can serve." (The Drum Major Instinct, Martin Luther King, Jr.)
Martin Luther King, Jr. recognized the power of unity through service to strengthen communities and achieve common goals. In 1994 Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act in honor of Dr. King’s legacy; transforming this Federal Holiday into a National Day of Service. MLK Service Day has grown steadily over the years and 2009 is set to be an extraordinary event with thousands of projects and millions of volunteers.
Massachusetts has been named a Marquee State for MLK Day of Service by The Corporation for National and Community Service -- encouraging Americans to view MLK Day as a "Day On" rather than a "Day Off."
Volunteer!
In addition to MLK Service Day events, the Commonwealth's Connect & Serve portal is a great way to find volunteers opportunities throughout Massachusetts.
