RSVP for MLK Day Youth Call to Service

media release:  The King Coalition of Madison & Dane County, in partnership with the Urban League, MOST, MSCR, the City of Madison, and DCDHS, is pleased to announce that registration for the annual MLK Day Youth Call to Service event is now open. We have an exciting and empowering slate of workshops grounded in the teachings of Dr. King that will engage youth in exploration and self-reflection around the topics of civil rights and leadership in action, personal and community resilience, mental health, and preparing for high school and beyond.

The 2023 MLK Day Youth Call to Service will take place on Monday, January 16, from 11:30am-4:45pm at the Central Madison Public Library (201 W Mifflin St, Madison, WI 53703), with an optional march to the City-County Freedom Sing-In at the Overture Center Rotunda from 4:45-6pm. This event is open to any middle school aged youth groups or teams of students. There is no cost to participate, and lunch and afternoon snacks will be provided. Students must register as a part of a group in order to participate.

The registration form can be found HERE. Registrations will be accepted through Friday, January 6. To register you will need to provide an estimated headcount of your group. We will then follow up with all registered groups after the first of the year to confirm the number of students that each group will bring. Space is limited, so register early to guarantee your seats!
