For the 12th year in a row, Leadership Long Beach and our partners have brought together our alumni and community volunteers from across Long Beach to serve together in honor of the National Day of Service and in the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Over the years thousands of volunteers have completed dozens of community service projects, growing the Long Beach MLK Day of Service into the largest MLK service day in LA County.
Please share this opportunity with family, friends, and community groups to join us in “Making it a Day On, Not a Day Off’ for Long Beach.
