Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, 2009

L.A. Works is excited to join President-Elect Barack Obama's call for all Americans to join in service to our country with our annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, Monday, January 19th, at Loren Miller Elementary School. One day before the official inauguration of America's first African-American president, L.A. Works will celebrate the spirit and legacy of Dr. King with a special day of programs and service as we revitalize this deserving elementary school campus. More information will be forthcoming along with open registration in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, you can participate in the historic change that is sweeping America by helping us organize MLK Day to make it our best ever. We invite you to be a member of our Registration Committee (helping to sign volunteers into the project in the morning) or our Task Captain Committee (helping to oversee painting and planting projects). Please click on the link to sign up. Continue to visit our Website for updates and additional volunteer opportunities. For corporate sponsorship opportunities, please contact Mark Meinhardt.
