MLK Day of Service - Bay Area



  • About
    This will be the 12th year that Service For Peace has been a key organizer to promote the MLK Day of Service and organize projects in Oakland, and around the Bay Area. We continue to spread awareness by making it a day on, not a day off. Our mission for the MLK Season of Service is to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King by recruiting volunteers from diverse backgrounds to help organizations that help at risk youth and to involve those youth in community service.
