The Office of the Secretary of the District of Columbia is proud to partner with Serve DC to present the 2009 Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. Mayor Fenty has proclaimed January 19, 2009 as “Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service” in the District of Columbia, and he asks all residents to celebrate Dr. King's legacy by turning community concerns into citizen action.
On MLK Day 2008 over 20,000 District volunteers participated in community service projects, and the 2009 King Day of Service will be bigger and better than ever. Register your project now or view a listing of available projects!
