MLK Jr. Day of Service

Every year, ChiGivesBack hosts an MLK Jr. Day of Service, where we support a local Chicago school. Together with our volunteers, we organize rooms, repaint walls, and paint murals throughout the school. This program launched in 2019 as part of our #Teach2Give initiative to support teachers, faculty, and students. To date, we have completed beautification projects in eight CPS schools collecting over 700 volunteer hours.
