Join the 2024 MLK Jr. Call To Service!
Each year we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by organizing service projects for Charlotte area volunteers around the holiday that bears his name. These projects not only deliver valuable assistance to nonprofit organizations, schools and other service providers, but also allow participants to begin the New Year by reflecting on the meaning of Dr. King’s life of service.
For 2024, we have created both in-person and virtual project options:
IN-PERSON
