Civic House Students Mark MLK Day at GW
The 2020-2021 Civic House program may look different than in years past, but its core dedication to serving the community remains unchanged.
January 18 marked the University’s 24th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service and Leadership, an event which garnered almost 300 volunteers from the GW community to spend the day immersed in service projects throughout the Washington, D.C., area. This year’s event was run entirely virtually by the Nashman Center, but that didn’t stop students from engaging with their partners and learning more about their D.C. community, students said.
In total, the Civic House cohort contributed about 20 service hours at one of 21 different site projects like workshops with the Capital Area Food Bank, transcribing documents for the Smithsonian Museum’s Transcription Center and assisting with Girls Run D.C.
