Find a Volunteer Opportunity for Martin Luther King Jr. Day
There are plenty of websites to help you find a way to give back.
Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The federal holiday is a day off from school and work for many, but the Corporation for National and Community Service is hoping people will make it a “day on,” filled with volunteer work and giving back.
According to MLKDay.gov, Martin Luther King Jr. Day was dedicated as a national day of service in 1994. The idea is that community service honors King’s dream of strengthening communities and bringing them together.
