Each year, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is observed as a federal holiday on the third Monday of January — Jan. 16 this year . The theme for this year is “Cultivating a Beloved Community Mindset to Transform Unjust Systems,” according to The King Center — a nonprofit founded by MLK’s wife, Coretta Scott King, to continue Dr. King’s legacy.
If you have time to dedicate to our community, here are three local volunteer opportunities:
- United Way Suncoast | United Way Suncoast offers a variety of ways to give back, from financial coaching to monthly engagement opportunities.
- YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg | Volunteers can coach a team, tutor kids, or assist with events.
- Habitat for Humanity Pinellas & West Pasco Counties | Help build a family’s forever home.
