Martin Luther King recognized the power of service. He famously said, "Everyone can be great because everybody can serve." GW’s MLK Day of Service and Leadership is a day to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through a day of service, workshops, and reflection. 

This day of service is a unique opportunity for hundreds of GW students, faculty, staff, alumni, and DC community members to strengthen their service values, create positive and impactful contributions to our communities, and commit to continuing acts of service as exemplified by Dr. King. 

Check out the Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service website for the Day of Service schedule at-a-glance and to register to join in continuing acts of services as exemplified by Dr. King. Registration will close on Friday, December 19, 2025!
