LEADERSHIP & COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day of Service 2010
Monday, January 17, 2011
On
January 17, 2011, a group of students, faculty, and staff from Southern
Methodist University (SMU) will participate in the
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, a program sponsored by the
Corporation for National and Community Service.
In 1994 Congress passed
the King Holiday and Service Act, designating the King Holiday as a national day
of volunteer service. Instead of a day off from work or school, Congress asked
Americans of all backgrounds and ages to celebrate Dr. King's legacy by turning
community concerns into citizen action. The King Day of Service brings together
people who might not ordinarily meet, breaks down barriers that have divided us
in the past, leads to better understanding and ongoing relationships, and is an
opportunity to recruit new volunteers for ongoing community engagement.
This year
students will work with
Cornerstone Baptist Church Homeless Outreach Ministry. If you are
interested in participating in this event, SMU students please RSVP in
Leadership & Community Involvement (HT 318) or at 214-768-4403. Transportation
is provided.
