Celebrating our 15th annual MLK Day of Service
On January 17th, our brought together 230 staff and AmeriCorps members for a 鈥淒ay on鈥, marking our 15th Annual MLK Day of Service celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
During the event, our 黄色视频 Los Angeles community was able to hear remarks from guest speaker John Tupponce,鈥粕悠碘痗hief operating officer, our Executive Director, Dr. Sandra Cano, and our inspiring Civic Engagement Team before heading out into small breakout rooms to commence the mornings virtual service project- painting mosaic murals.
Over the course of the morning, our teams painted hundreds of tile pieces that will compose four large-scale murals that will dawn the halls of City Terrace Elementary School in East Los Angeles, once assembled. Our greatest hope is that as they pass by the murals on their way to class, our students are inspired to lead with compassion, live courageously and always stand up for what they believe in.
To conclude the day鈥檚 events, Michelle Ferrari, our AmeriCorps member experience director, took the virtual stage to address our corps members and ground us in the importance of the day鈥檚 service activity.
Thank you again to our wonderful Los Angeles Civic Engagement Team for putting this event together and successfully producing another INCREDIBLE virtual service day. Your innovation in creating virtual service projects that impact the lives of students and volunteers alike continues to inspire us every day. We appreciate you!
