MLK Afternoon of Service (COVE)
Friday, January 28 from 12:30pm- 5:30pm @ various local community organizations
Colgate University’s Center for Outreach, Volunteerism, and Education (COVE) is joining the national commemoration of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy by hosting the second annual MLK Afternoon of Service. Colgate’s MLK Afternoon of Service hopes to honor Dr. King’s teachings of citizenship and service and recognize the role they play in strengthening communities. The aim of our locally-focused afternoon of service is to bring people of various ages and backgrounds together to move our local community and nation closer to the “Beloved Community” that Dr. King envisioned.
