Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

Get Involved in our Largest Volunteer Event!

Annually on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, several hundred Macomb Community College faculty, staff, and students come together, volunteering throughout the community. Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service and humanitarian rights has become a college tradition, and we are excited to continue this tradition with activities organized by Student Life and Leadership. This year, we are proud to introduce a new partnership with the Office of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access for the keynote event. Space is limited, so please register as soon as possible.
