Monday, January 20th is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day - a day to honor the incredible legacy that Dr. King left on the world. Because the university is closed, it may be tempting to stay at home and finish binge watching your favorite show. Instead, challenge yourself to do as Dr. King would and serve your community. Dr. King once said, “The time is always right to do the right thing.” What better way to honor that sentiment than by making a day off a day on? 

On this holiday, Pay It Forward, a student cohort within the Office of Student Life dedicated to service, organizes a Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service each year for Ohio State students. Whether you volunteer together with your student organization, a group of friends, or want to get involved individually, all undergraduate, graduate, and professional students are invited to join Pay It Forward to honor MLK Jr. by giving back and engaging in a morning of community service.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in 2-3 hours of community service with a local nonprofit in a variety of community issues, such as homeless/houseless citizen support, mental health advocacy, healthy food access, child welfare, and support for our frontline workers. These service opportunities will take place both on and off campus. If you are assigned to an off campus site, buses will be provided. Site assignment will take place when you arrive on January 20. 

All participants should be at the Ohio Union by 9:30 a.m. on Monday, January 20.
