Martin Luther King Day Service Activities

Hey, TRIO Students! This from the Student Leadership Development Office. Activities for M.L.K. Day:

This year, NEIU will be participating in an MLK Day of Service (a day on…not a day off) with City Year Chicago. We will be doing a variety of projects at Lafayette Elementary School in the Humboldt Park Community of Chicago.

Students will work alongside community members to help transform and uplift the school. They will get a chance to work with community leaders, parents, alums and current students to help build community pride in its school.
