MLK Jr. Day of Service 2014
Volunteer Project: Murals across the campus that are dated and peeling will be repaired or replaced, school buildings and grounds will be painted, and landscaping will be rehabilitated. While volunteers will work across the entire campus on the day, the focus will be on building an enlarged school garden. After the MLK 2014 Day of Service, participants will be encouraged to maintain a long-term commitment to service through volunteer opportunities connected to the new school garden as well as L.A. Works’ existing managed volunteer projects which will include activities that are specific to MLK Day of Service.

Teams/Groups: How to Sign Up A Team. (This includes families). Volunteers are assigned to projects on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our corporate sponsors help make this event possible! Fiscal sponsorship is available for corporate teams who would like to volunteer together.
Age Requirements: Volunteers for this project must be at least 5 years of age.
Minors: Any volunteer under the age of 18 will need to bring and have signed by a parent/guardian an L.A. Works Volunteer Agreement & Release for Minors. Volunteers under the age of 14 must have a parent/guardian with them. Volunteers under the age of 14 cannot create L.A. Works Accounts so parents/guardians must create a Team to sign up their family.
