Thank you for your interest in volunteering and spending your day honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. To participate in MLK Day of Service, pick a project from the list below and register as a project leader for a group or as an individual. As a project leader you are responsible for choosing a project for your team and claiming volunteer slots for the group, recruiting volunteers, and acting as the liaison between the nonprofit partner and volunteer group. If you are registering as an individual (i.e. not associated with a group) please also make sure you connect with the nonprofit host so you confirm logistics.
Pick a project from the list below, click "View Details," and then click "respond as a group." Note that you may volunteer alongside other groups. If you would like a private project just for your team, please email volunteers@uwkc.org to ensure there are no other groups registered for the project you’re interested in.
Create a volunteer profile if you don't have one, or log in if you do.
Enter your group name and click submit.
Click “add member” to register yourself and claim the amount of spots you need.
If you are an individual and do not need to hold spots for your group, just click "respond" rather than "respond as a group" and you can register yourself.
