For nearly 30 years, the MLK Day of Service and its impact increased as more Americans embraced the idea of taking an active role in improving communities where we live, work, and play. Honor Dr. King's legacy and help create the Beloved Community by volunteering this MLK Day. Through service and volunteerism, we have the power to build more equitable and just communities to underpin racial equity, expand civic opportunities, and foster respect for individual differences.

Forecast 2/12/20- Steven Hernandez
#tbt to our Forecast event a couple weeks ago! We can't stop thinking about NJ '14 alum Steven Hernandez speaking about his connections to students and wanting to stay in the fight for equity: "When a teacher serves a school long enough, they become a necessary figure in the community... [with] TFA's DNA ingrained in me, I could not turn my back on the children I had learned to love." *Want to help us stay in this work? Consider joining our Alumni Board or donating or both!
