On Monday, January 19, the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, YMCAs throughout Snohomish County will proudly host “Make It a Day ON, Not a Day OFF”—an inspiring day of service that honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s spirit of servant leadership and commitment to community.

The Y is dedicated to turning this day into one of action, reflection, and impact. Across the county, we will mobilize hundreds of volunteers, bringing together individuals, families, and community partners to give back through the YMCA MLK Day of Service. These meaningful projects are identified and facilitated by Y staff, civic leaders, and passionate community volunteers who share the goal of building stronger, more connected neighborhoods.

Each of our six YMCA branches will host unique local service projects designed to make a tangible difference in the communities we serve. There will be opportunities for volunteers of all ages and abilities to get involved.

This day is more than just a volunteer opportunity—it’s a chance to honor Dr. King’s legacy by taking action, coming together as a community, and living out the values of service, compassion, and equity.

 Let’s honor Dr. King’s vision and make a difference together!
