Honoring Dr. King
Volunteers across the country were asked to honor the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., by observing a day “ON” rather than a day “OFF,” and our Energy Corps AmeriCorps members turned out on Monday, January 17th, to do just that.
MLK National Day of Service Activities Planned
On the 25th anniversary of the Federal Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday, Americans across the country will honor Dr. King by helping their neighbors and communities, making it a “day on, not a day off” — a national day of service to bring Americans together to help others.
