Volunteering on  January 19th, 2026 supports the Seattle Martin Luther King Jr Coalition in celebrating and honoring Dr. King’s legacy. The event includes a rally, the march for peace, internship opportunities, workshops, youth led programming and a job fair, and every volunteer is offered the annual MLK Coalition T-shirt.

Volunteers will help by getting signs ready to distribute for the march right after the workshop and rally. We will be strategically dispersed throughout the Garfield High School parking lot to pass out all sign handles.

This opportunity is hosted by our Emerging Leaders 365 young professionals and all are welcome to volunteer! Each opportunity supports United Way of King County’s mission to create racially just communities where all people have homes, students graduate, and families are financially stable.

It will be cold and we will be outside, so make sure to dress warm and wear comfortable shoes and gloves!
