The Greater Philadelphia King Day of Service Signature Site is the hub of more than 100 projects and over 3,000 volunteers – including elected officials, sponsors, community leaders and students from throughout the region. We hope you will join us there!
In 2012, we are thrilled to be back at Girard College. This is a special place: a focal point of the civil rights movement and the site of a historic 1965 protest in which Dr. King and other leaders called for the school to open admission to students of all races.
