Martin Luther King Jr. Day Of Service 2018
http://www.bostoncares.org
Since 2006, Boston Cares has organized A Day ON, Not a Day OFF projects for MLK Day that have collectively engaged 6,250 individuals of all ages from Boston's neighborhoods and surrounding communities.
On January 15, 2018, Boston Cares will organize 600 volunteers to support Boston families who are immigrants and refugees through the creation of ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) learning tools for community organizations and schools throughout the city of Boston. Volunteers will create English journals, conversation games, mobile lap desks, and vocabulary and citizenship flashcards for organizations for immigrant and refugee families learning English and preparing for the citizenship exam. Additionally, volunteers will join us in building beds for families who do not have a bed of their own.
Volunteers will select an activity station based on age and interest when they arrive at MLK Day. MLK Day is always kid-friendly and open to youth 5+. No orientation is required.
