AYLA Plans 12th Annual MLK Day of Service

AUSTIN YOUNG LAWYERS ASSOCIATION

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Austin Young Lawyers Association will coordinate its 12th annual MLK Day of Service project on MLK Day, Monday, Jan. 17, 2022. This local project is modeled after the national Martin Luther King Day of Service, which is intended to transform Dr. King’s life and teachings into community service that helps solve social problems.

There will be multiple organizations for volunteers to choose from once the signup link becomes available in early January. Members of Austin’s legal community can sign up for one or more of the events being offered. Friends and family are encouraged to volunteer as well.

The 2022 MLK Day of Service will be a combination of in-person volunteer opportunities and donation drop-offs at the Austin Bar Association Hilgers House.
