Jan. 19, 2020— Northern Kentucky University will extend a helping hand throughout the community as part of the annual Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Community Service on Jan. 20, 2020.
Hosted by the Office of Student Engagement, the day of service is held to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy. Over 600 NKU volunteers will complete service activities both on campus and across 19 greater Cincinnati locations, including Habitat for Humanity, the Women’s Crisis Center and Homeward Bound Shelter. This is the second year the campus has gathered together to honor Dr. King through service.
NKU’s Office of Student Engagement has hosted “Service on Saturday” events since 2002. Last year, the campus logged nearly 25,000 volunteer hours. Many of the service days are coordinated with holidays and campus events, like NKU’s Homecoming and Earth Day.
