MLK Day Guide

Page history last edited by ADP/AASCU 11 years, 8 months ago

 

In 1994 Congress passed the Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. 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 motto for the day is, "A Day On, Not a Day Off." In 2007, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) in partnership with the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) created a collection of resources for planning an MLK Day for colleges and universities. We have updated the original MLK Day Guide. MLK Day is celebrated on the third Monday in January each year.

 

This guide is packed full of tips for funding, project organization, volunteer management, and much more. The campus case studies section includes examples from the 2009 MLK Day. Additionally, the revised MLK Day guide includes a blog post from Harry Boyte about how campuses might incorporate Civic Agency/We the People ideas into their celebrations.
