Philadelphia, PA 19125
“A Day ON, Not a Day OFF”: Martin Luther King Jr. Day is City Year's largest day of service. On this day, we will bring a diverse group of volunteers together to perform powerful and transformative service. We seek not only to enhance the facilities of Philadelphia schools, but also to spark a lasting interest in community service and civic duty for our volunteers. The day will honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his commitment to service.
“Where Will We Serve?”: This year, our MLK day of service will take place in the diverse Kensington section of the city at Kensington International Business and Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) High Schools as well as H.A. Brown Elementary School. Approximately 1,400 students attend these schools and will be affected by the lasting impact volunteers make there. The Kensington High Schools are part of Philadelphia’s “Small Schools Initiative” that divides high schools into separate entities to give more personalized instruction to students. Nearby H.A. Brown Elementary has recently expanded to accommodate more students. In all three schools, some facilities are nearly 100 years old.
This is an excellent opportunity for in-coming corps members to experience a powerful day of service with City Year. Register sooner, rather than later, because space will be limited, and this is a very popular day of service.
