MLK Day of Service

There’s no better way to kick off the new year than by giving back to the community. You can sign up to volunteer for Johns Hopkins’ Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service annually — 2021 dates will be announced soon. Consider giving a few hours of your time to support one of nearly 40 community organizations in and around Baltimore, Howard County, Washington and St. Petersburg, Florida.

Thank you for helping us model King’s life of servant leadership by participating in these events and making a difference in our communities. #HopkinsBetterTogether
