Kansas Volunteer Commission announces mini-grant for MLK National Day of Service

The Kansas Volunteer Commission has announced the MLK National Day of Service mini-grant, which provides grant funding to recruit and engage volunteers in meaningful service activities or deliver a service-learning activity related to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  

Applications are due Nov. 4. All school districts, as well as community-based and youth-serving organizations, are encouraged to apply. The grant period is from Jan. 1 – Jan. 31, 2025, and applicants may request up to $5,000. 

A service-learning activity is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility and strengthen communities.
