Opportunity Details
#MLK Day 2023 - Help Register Volunteers at the L.A. Coliseum
MLK Day registration volunteering is a great opportunity for volunteers with mobility concerns. Can be done seated.
At the LA Memorial Coliseum in 1964, Dr. King passionately and persuasively addressed 15,000 Angelenos on the issues of race relations and human dignity. In 2023, L.A. Works will continue our long tradition of honoring Dr. King’s legacy by empowering Angelenos to take collective action in the fight for food and climate justice. While the root cause is systemic white supremacy, the symptoms are that Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low income people have access to the unhealthiest foods and are bearing a disproportionate impact from climate disruptions.
MLK Day of Service’s success is truly dependent on the welcoming smiles and consideration of our registration volunteers. We’re looking for individuals who enjoy being the greeters at this special day of service to make sure the participants’ experience is smooth and positive from the very start of the day.
WHERE: The L.A. Coliseum
WHEN: Monday, January 16th, 2023, from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM

COVID-19 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS:
The safety of our community is of utmost importance, and so L.A. Works strongly encourages all who are eligible to be vaccinated and boosted. MLK Day of Service is an outside-only event (weather permitting *see below), and masks will be strongly encouraged.
This is a RAIN OR SHINE event! If we move to our rain location, the event will be covered, open-air, with some fully indoor components, so proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test within 48 hrs and masks will be required. We will send a follow-up message with these instructions within 48 hours of the event if we decide that we have to make any adjustments to the Covid protocols for the safety of all. (We love rain… just not on MLK Day ;))
