Walking the Walk Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service 2016
Each year, our Walking the Walk students gather together on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to engage in a full day of service, learning, and team-building. It is the only day of the year that all four of our Networks are active in the region, working in their communities, and helping to serve those most in need of their compassion.
In 2016, our Networks, comprising 100 high school students representing 28 different faith communities and schools, set out across the Greater Philadelphia area to continue this great work.
