 King Day of Service Community Project Coordinator's Briefing

 

King Day 2011

 

On January 17, 2011 tens of thousands of volunteers throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware will participate in the 16th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, the largest King Day event in the nation. We hope you will celebrate Dr. King’s legacy by organizing and hosting a service project that reflects the principles of Dr. King and addresses the concerns and needs of your community.  Last King Day, more than 70,000 volunteers participated locally in some 1,100 projects, with many continuing throughout the year.

 

To help support your organizing efforts, we are hosting a series of planning workshops throughout the region. These sessions are designed to provide information, technical support, answers your questions and facilitate connections to other participants.

We hope you will join us at this workshop to learn more about the King Day of Service and how our headquarters can help you and your organization.

Global Citizen & MLK365



Global Citizen is non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting civic engagement, community volunteering, civic responsibility and sustained active citizenship among diverse groups, particularly young people.

Our issues of focus include poverty, homelessness, at-risk youth, education, public health, digital inclusion, energy and the environment.  Global Citizen is a weaver of community webs, bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds.  We work to build diverse partnerships through volunteer service, thus realizing how much more we have in common than our differences.

Global Citizen was founded by Todd Bernstein, who helped Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Harris Wofford and Atlanta Congressman John Lewis create the National Martin Luther King Day of Service in 1994.  Bernstein started the first local King Day of Service in Philadelphia in 1996.

MLK365 is a year-round program that promotes sustainable civic engagement and volunteer opportunities. 

The goal of MLK365 is to ensure that Dr. King's legacy and principles are embraced throughout the entire year.  The initiative emphasizes Dr. King's legacy of nonviolence, social justice, equality and excellence.

MLK365 serves as a year-round clearing house for continuing service opportunities, as well as supporting and designing volunteer programs for its partners.
