In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of community action and collective care, the Union College MLK Week of Service brings students, faculty, staff, and community partners together for a series of community engaged volunteer projects and reflection opportunities. Throughout the week, we will collaborate with campus organizations and local nonprofit partners to address community needs, support ongoing service initiatives, and engage in meaningful conversations about justice, equity, and service.
