Every year, in honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rock Creek Conservancy, in partnership with the National Park Service and Montgomery Parks, celebrates MLK Day with the MLK Weekend of Service.

Dr. King devoted his life to equality, social justice, economic advancement, and opportunity for all. This multi-day volunteer event is part of a nationwide effort to empower individuals, build community connections, and celebrate Dr. King’s conviction that “all of life is interrelated” by protecting the parklands that increase our region’s social and climate resilience.

We can’t wait to get out and celebrate with you all for the MLK Weekend of Service. This is a great opportunity to connect with others in the Rock Creek community around shared values and vision for the future.
