Monday, Jan. 20
10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
The View Teen Center
Join the View Teen Center this MLK Day for a transformative day of service inspired by the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We invite teen volunteers to participate in a project that will beautify the View Teen Center, a space that provides safety, support, and opportunities for local youth to learn, grow, and thrive. Through unity and service, we can build a more welcoming and inspiring environment while honoring Dr. King's vision of a Beloved Community—one rooted in justice, equity, and respect for all, regardless of race, ability, religion, or background.
