MLK Day of Service

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through Service

MLK Day of Service is an annual university-wide event which takes place every January to give UNCG students an opportunity to connect to different parts of our community while honoring Dr. King’s legacy through service. Participation is free. Volunteer teams will be led by a student facilitator and transportation is provided from campus. We hope this day sparks your interest to continue to learn and serve in the Greensboro community and get involved on-campus and locally!

MLK Day of Service 2027 will take place on Saturday, January 16th from 11:45am-4pm

Registration is required. You must be a currently enrolled UNCG student to participate!

Site Leader Position

Have you participated in one of our days of service before or do you have plenty of service experience? Apply to be a Site Leader! As a Site Leader for MLK Day of Service it will be your responsibility to check-in your site participants, lead them to transportation, communicate with the community partner upon arrival, serve as the site contact, and lead reflection activities (provided by OLCE) after service. Site leaders will also attend a mandatory site leader training. Apply early!

Site Leader applications will open soon!
