January 16th 2023 is Martin Luther King, Jr., National Day of Service. The only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service, this designation reflects Dr. King’s vision of a “beloved community” - where there is no space for injustice, prejudice, or discrimination.
This is a defining moment each year when Americans across the globe step up to make communities more equitable and take action to build this dream. In the last 25 years since the institution of MLK Day, the Day of Service has grown, and its impact increased as more Americans embraced the idea that citizenship involves taking an active role in improving communities.
