font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; font-family: georgia, palatino;">With an emphasis on creating opportunity for all, citizens in all 50 states will deliver meals, refurbish schools and community centers, and collect food and clothing. Volunteers will also recruit mentors, build homes and provide other services for veterans and military families, and help citizens improve their financial literacy skills. </p><p class="gd_p" align="left" style="margin: 14px 0px 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; font-family: georgia, palatino;">“Dr. King’s life is a shining example that one person can make a difference and change the course of history,” said Wendy Spencer, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). “By volunteering in communities across the nation on the MLK Day of Service, we honor his legacy through the spirit of service. I am honored to serve alongside the hundreds of thousands of Americans who are dedicating a day to give back, and I am convinced that the day will inspire many to make volunteering part of their lives all year long.” </p><p class="gd_p" align="left" style="margin: 14px 0px 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; font-family: georgia, palatino;">In 1994, Congress designated MLK Day as the first and only federal holiday observed as a national day of service, and charged CNCS with leading this effort. Participants in the agency's AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs are leading and participating in projects across the country. Americans may visit <a href="http://www.mlkday.gov/" style="color: rgb(7, 107, 170);" class="">MLKDay.gov</a> to find a service project for MLK Day or a year-round volunteer opportunity in their own community.</p><p class="gd_p" align="left" style="margin: 14px 0px 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; font-family: georgia, palatino;">CNCS provides grants to six national organizations that play a leadership role in the MLK Day of Service: Youth Service of America, Iowa Western Community College, Points of Light, the Arc of the United States, Tennessee State University, and Service for Peace. In addition to these grantees, more than <a href="http://www.nationalservice.gov/special-initiatives/days-service/martin-luther-king-jr-day-service/about-dr-king-and-mlk-day/mlk-day" style="color: rgb(7, 107, 170);" class="">30 other organizations</a> are strategic partners, including AARP, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, City Year, United Way of America, and YouthBuild USA.</p><p class="gd_p" align="left" style="margin: 14px 0px 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Sample projects are highlighted below.
