MLK Day of Service

Dear Friends!

It is time to get moving with our big plans for the Martin Luther King Day of Service event. We are very excited to announce that we are doing a big project with our community partners The Telling Room and The Portland Housing Authority. We will be training USM students, members of the NAACP Youth Council and community members to run work shops at the Riverton and Kennedy Park study centers.

These workshops will be focused on creating 6-word memoirs and narratives, where individual youth will use the images, words or lessons of Dr. King to write their own 6 word story. All volunteers who go through the training will then volunteer a couple of evenings at either the Riverton or Kennedy Park centers towards the end of November or in early December.
