Nominations open for Martin Luther King Jr. Award for Community Service

Help recognize volunteers demonstrating the spirit of citizenship and activism that characterized the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The call for nominations is open for the 2019 Martin Luther King Jr. Award for Community Service, which recognizes outstanding commitment to volunteer service by faculty, staff, graduate students, and retirees of the Johns Hopkins University and Health System.

The community service must have been completed during 2019 and should not be a part of the individual's duties at Johns Hopkins.

You may want to review the information with the nominee to ensure that you have the most accurate information regarding his or her volunteer work and its impact.

The deadline for submission is Friday, Oct. 11.

Community Service Awards will be presented at the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Celebration on Jan. 17, 2020, to those individuals who demonstrate the same spirit of volunteerism, citizenship, and activism that characterized the life of Dr. King.

The nomination form for the MLK Community Service Award is online. To learn more about the award, see the MLK Award webpage on the Benefits & Worklife website.
