MLK Day of Service is an immersive, community service program that connects GT community members to hands-on service projects in the Atlanta area.  Each year, on the observed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we offer the chance to make it a “day on, not a day off” partnering with Atlanta community organizations to connect, serve, and move us closer to Dr. King’s vision of a ‘Beloved Community’.  Participation is open to Georgia Tech faculty, staff, and students!
