Celebrating Dr. King’s Legacy
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s revolutionary message stretches far beyond his lifetime, beyond streets and counties named for him, and beyond a single holiday on the calendar. It goes beyond inspirational messages—it’s a legacy by which our community can be transformed.
“True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Stride Toward Freedom, 1957
Systemic issues cannot be solved in one day, and we have a long way to go. Join us Jan. 19 for MLK Day of Service as your starting point. Let’s make volunteering a habit. Let’s truly get to know community issues. Let’s build relationships that pursue the peace and justice Dr. King lived and died for.
We’re working side-by-side with communities to build an equitable future for everyone. Check out the range of ways you can get involved.

Shared Responsibility, Shared Future: Designing Community-Centered Service Together
January 21, 2026: 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
This workshop invites participants to move beyond individual roles and into shared responsibility for the futures we are shaping together. We invite, staff, volunteers, and community members to come into the same conversation to reflect on how their actions, decisions, and assumptions collectively impact community well-being. Participants will engage in guided reflection and collective dialogue to name what it looks like to show up with care, accountability, and humility within each of our roles. This session emphasizes alignment between values and practice, clear accountability to community, and the commitment required to sustain this work beyond a single program, project, or room. Participants will leave with a deeper sense of shared stewardship and practical commitments for continuing community-centered service in real and tangible ways.
