Upcoming 2020 Days of Service


September 11 National Day of Service and of Remembrance

Friday, September 11, 2020

September 11th is Patriot Day and a National Day of Service and Remembrance. On this day Americans across the country are called to volunteer in their local communities in tribute to the individuals lost and injured in the attacks, first responders, and the many who have risen in service to defend freedom.  EngageAR, in partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service, offers support and mini-grants to national service programs and Cities of Service to plan volunteer projects in their communities on 9/11.

2021 Days of Service


Martin Luther King, Jr. Day  of Service

Monday, January 18, 2021

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lived his life serving others. Following his example, millions of Americans serve on Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. At our children's schools, at a local shelter, or lending a hand to help our neighbors – we join Dr. King as drum majors for justice, peace, and righteousness. Each year for MLK Day, EngageAR coordinates and provides Day of Service mini-grants for national service programs and Cities of Service to address local problems through volunteer engagement and service.

AmeriCorps Week

AmeriCorps Week is a celebration of all things AmeriCorps-from the programs and organizations that make this national service initiative possible in thousands of locations, to the over 1 million members who have pledged to "Get Things Done" since the program's inception in 1994.  Each year for AmeriCorps Week, EngageAR offers mini-grants to all national service programs in Arkansas to coordinate volunteer projects and civic engagement outreach events in communities across Arkansas.

National Service Recognition Day

April 6, 2021

On National Service Recognition Day, thousands of local leaders across the country honor AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers by issuing official proclamations and taking to social media in a nationwide show of appreciation.

CNCS, America’s leader in volunteering and service efforts, engages approximately 300,000 AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers in national service at more than 50,000 locations each year. Through partnerships with schools, faith-based groups, non-profits, and local agencies, national service members are embedded within the communities they serve, using their ingenuity and training to make a tangible, lasting impact. Whether responding to natural disasters, tackling the opioid epidemic, educating students for the 21st-century workforce, or supporting veterans and military families, AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers help local leaders strengthen their communities.
