Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Lifetime of Action, Day of Reflection

January 17, 2005

Greater Philadelphia Cares are looking for passionate leaders committed to social change to coordinate workshops commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?s legacy. Over the holiday weekend of January 15th-17th, Greater Philadelphia Cares will coordinate a series of workshops and hands on service opportunities focused on engaging and inspiring volunteers to commit to a lifetime of service.

We will have trainings for volunteer workshop leaders on December 7th from 6:00 to 7:30pm and again on December 11th from 10:00am-11:30am.

Each hands-on service workshop will feature:

* A half-hour to hour discussion about the agency, their mission, and the broader issue, i.e., Greater Philadelphia Food Bank, ending hunger/homelessness;

* One hour to hour and a half service project at your agency, i.e., packing food at the food bank; and

* A half-hour Martin Luther King reflection activity.

We need leaders to run the following workshops. Please contact the staff member listed to sign up:
