MLK Service Day
MLK Service Day: Serve Together. Make a Difference.
MLK Service Day is a cherished Southern tradition that reflects our commitment to service, community, and Christ-centered values. Each year, students, faculty, staff, and alumni come together to serve local organizations and individuals throughout the Chattanooga area. By honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy through hands-on service, our university family works together to meet real needs and strengthen our community.
From building beds for children and writing letters of encouragement to supporting local nonprofits, MLK Service Day provides meaningful opportunities to put faith into action. Join us as we serve together and make a lasting impact—one project, one person, and one act of service at a time.
Faculty and Staff: Join Us in Serving
Faculty and staff are invited to be part of MLK Service Day! Join colleagues from across campus as we serve our community, build connections, and continue this meaningful Southern tradition.
Students: Help Lead the Way
MLK Service Day depends on student leaders who are willing to step up and serve. We are looking for dedicated drivers and project coordinators to help lead volunteer teams and ensure the day runs smoothly.
This is a great opportunity to develop leadership skills, serve your community, and make an impact alongside fellow Southern students.
