Join Leadership Long Beach as we Celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr for a day of service. 2023
2023 MLK Day of Service
For the 14th year, Leadership Long Beach and our partners will bring together our alumni and volunteers from across Long Beach for the National Day of Service in honor 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.”
The Day starts with a Kick-Off!
Our day begins at MLK Park, 1950 Lemon Ave, Long Beach, CA 90806 starting at 8:00 AM for the kick-off event to come together as a community and celebrate the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Enjoy pancakes, learn about our event’s impact, and bring your friends!
