MLK Day of Service
NCCE is connected to a vibrant network of similar state and regional place-based organizations across the country dedicated to supporting the public purposes of higher education and community engagement nationally through a robust and diverse array of programs, initiatives, and events. In 2023 the Alliance secured a three-year Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service (AmeriCorps) to engage students across our 11 states to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through service. Engage NJ is the lead agency for the grant.
Alliance partners: Community-Engaged Alliance, LEAD California, Partnership for Campus-Community Engagement, Transform Mid-Atlantic, and Washington Campus Coalition for the Public Good.
