MLK Day: Ideas for your \u201cDay On\u201d<\/h2>\n

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is celebrated every third Monday in January. We love it because it\u2019s a day dedicated to honoring the legacy of Dr. King. It\u2019s also a day to remember the importance of service and giving back to the community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got some cool ideas for ways to participate in this Day of Service:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WTH is a \u201cDay On\u201d?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The MLK Day of Service is federally recognized and encourages Americans to volunteer and make a difference in their communities. This year, the MLK Day of Service theme is \u201cA Day On, Not a Day Off.\u201d You can find volunteer opportunities near you by visiting the <\/span>Corporation for National and Community Service<\/a><\/strong> website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unsure where to start, try registering on the <\/span>MLK Day of Service<\/a><\/strong> website. You can find volunteer opportunities and register for an event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Community includes \u201cU\u201d and \u201cI\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another way to get involved is to organize a community service project. Gather your colleagues and do a project that will benefit your community. Clean up a local park, organize a food drive, or volunteer at a local shelter. You can also contact local organizations to see if they need volunteers for the day. Teamwork makes the dream work, baby.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have fun with pictures<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Be sure to take pictures and share your experience on social media using the hashtag #MLKDay. Your post can inspire others to participate and make a difference in their communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you volunteer, organize a service project, or register for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, your contribution makes a difference. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
