While many see Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a day off, the Center for Volunteer and NonProfit Leadership (CVNL) sees it as a "day on!"

It is a defining moment each year when Americans across the country step up to make our communities more equitable and take action to create the Beloved Community of Dr. King's dream. According to Dr. King, a Beloved Community was a community where everyone is cared for, absent of poverty, hunger, and hate. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

popularized the term during his lifetime of activism and imbued it with new meaning, fueled by his faith that such a community was, in fact, possible if we fought for systemic change. His example is our call to action.

How will you step forward and serve this Martin Luther King Jr. Day? Join CVNL, AmeriCorps VIP, AmeriCorps, The King Center in making Martin Luther King Jr. Day a day "on" by participating in one or more of the many volunteer opportunities happening in Solano county. Click here to learn more.
