MLK Day of Service at Lehigh University

The Martin Luther King, Jr., National Day of Service is a day each year when individuals across the country perform acts of service to make communities more equitable and take action to create the Beloved Community of Dr. King’s dream.

In accordance with Lehigh University's commitment to inclusion & belonging, and in alignment with our Principles of our Equitable Community, the MLK Day of Service has been designated as an official university-sponsored program. The Day of Service will be recognized on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, January 19, 2026.  This page will be updated with opportunities as the date approaches.

 

 

Thank you to all who joined in the 2025 day of service.  A sampling of photos is below.
