Service For Peace

MLK Challenge 365 MLK Challenge 2011 is a partnership between Service for Peace and Points of Light, and is supported by a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service. Martin Luther King Day is one of our country\'s most important federal holidays, marking the birth of Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It is observed on the third Monday in January each year. This year is the 25th anniversary of the federal holiday. Each year to celebrate the holiday, Service for Peace, Points of Light, and the Corporation for National and Community Service along with local organizations mobilize thousands of volunteers to serve their neighbors and their communities in memory of Dr. King. The 2011 MLK Challenge will continue this tradition.

Global Peacemakers Projects Service For Peace involves college students in voluntary service programs designed to increase international cooperation and to break the cycle of poverty in nations throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. We form strategic alliances with colleges, government ministries, NGOs and businesses to provide experiential learning and training in leadership development, citizenship, social responsibility and information technology.
