Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'" Each year, Americans across the country answer that question by coming together on the King Holiday to serve their neighbors and communities. The MLK Day of Service is a part of United We Serve< http://www.serve.gov>, the President's national call to service initiative. It calls for Americans from all walks of life to work together to provide solutions to our most pressing national problems.

Challenge Check-In: Students Continue King's Legacy through a Semester of Service Last fall, about 360,000 youth, educators, and community partners began a year-long campaign to demonstrate the potential of education powered by service. Through the Learn and Serve Challenge, they pledged to engage in service-learning activities to help more young people understand how their education is relevant in the real world. Diverse Communities Serve on MLK Day In January 2012, many volunteers across the state will be mobilized as part of MLK Day 2012. The nonprofit, faith-based, education and national service communities are just a few of the diverse groups of people organizing projects around the country.
