About
MLK Day of Service is the third of four large days of service that the Center for Leadership & Civic Engagement offers throughout the year. It is an easy way to volunteer in the community without having to volunteer on your own or navigate finding potential sites on your own. There are no classes scheduled on MLK Day January 17, 2022. There are three parts of a day of service at ECU:
- Check-In & Kick-off with Keynote Speaker in MCSC Blackbox Theater (9:00-10:00 AM)
- Service at various locations (10:30 AM - 12:30 PM - two hours)
- Reflection & Closing in MCSC Blackbox Theater (1:00-2:00 PM)
You should register to attend the Check-In & Kick-off, ONE service site, and the Reflection & Closing.
Transportation to volunteer sites may or may not be provided, please read the details for each site before choosing a volunteer site. Some sites are on campus, others are within walking distance, some have transportation provided, and some you must drive yourself or carpool with a friend. Some sites have specific dress requirements and/or require vaccination, or a separate volunteer form or link that you must complete prior to the day of service.
Should you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Alex Dennis, Assistant Director in CLCE - dennisa15@ecu.edu.
All current COVID-19 protocols will be followed by all volunteers. Masks will be required for all parts of the day of service and some sites require proof of vaccination, please read the details for each site carefully and check your email the week leading up to the day of service.
