1. Celebrate MLK Arkansas Youth Community Service Month – Join Us in Empowering Students to Serve!
Dear Friends and Supporters of Youth Service,
The Arkansas Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission (AMLKC), a division of the Arkansas Department of Education, invites your school district to participate in MLK Arkansas Youth Community Service Month, observed from April 11 through May 11, 2025, in alignment with Global Youth Service Day (April 25–27, 2025).
We are mobilizing students, ages 5–25, across Arkansas to commit to meaningful Awareness, Service, Advocacy, and Philanthropy (ASAP) projects that meet real community needs.
This statewide effort empowers youth to make a difference through:
· Community clean-ups
· Food drives and pantry support
· Literacy and mentoring activities
· Youth-led civic and social impact projects
We ask you to encourage your students, student groups, and classrooms to pledge their acts of service using our official AMLKC service clearinghouse platform at:
How to Participate:
· Share the link above with your school community.
· Support students in selecting or leading a local service activity.
· Encourage them to upload a brief summary, photo, or video to show how they are honoring Dr. King’s legacy through action.
· Mention/Tag @AMLKC in social media and use the hashtag #AMLKCYouthService2025
Let us work together to uplift our communities and instill a spirit of lifelong service and civic responsibility in Arkansas youth.
