Opportunity Details

Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service 2014

On Monday, January 20th, 2014 Boston Cares will partner with the Office of the Mayor of Boston, the Massachusetts Service Alliance and the YOU Generate Campaign, and Target to celebrate the life and legacy of MLK Jr. 
We will gather at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center and we ask that individuals, families, troops, clubs and other groups come out and help us honor MLK Jr. and make a positive difference in our community! 

On MLK Day 2014, 400 volunteers will meet community needs focused on children, education and homelessness. Our education projects will support elementary school student learning by creating math flash cards; Rainbow Fish kits; and “lap desks” that students can use where they live if there is no comfortable space for them to do homework. Homelessness projects will support children transitioning to a home by building toddler beds and creating bedtime kits. 

This is a family friendly event, with two different shifts of service times to make volunteering flexible and fun! Space is limited so sign up soon!
Pre-registration is required!


Morning shift: 10:00am - 12:00pm
Afternoon shift: 1:30pm - 3:30pm


T-Accessible, Orange line: Roxbury Crossing
