Americans in all 50 states made this historic weekend and expanded King Day of Service "a day on, not a day off" … Participation in these service projects is likely to surpass the one million mark--doubling last year's level.

“Last year on MLK Day several hundred thousand engaged in public service. Today it'll be millions.“                  -- Martin Luther King, Jr. III

Intercambio de Communidades Denver's mission is to build respectful communities and broaden opportunities for immigrants through language education, cultural exchange, and friendship.

Sarah Shikes, Executive Director, expressed interest in having a VISTA bring a class of students, HS or College aged, come to an ESL class to practice English.  Depending on class level, this could be discussion on diversity, it could be an event, they would be willing to partner with you in a number of ways. There likely would be availability on MLK Day\Cesar Chavez Day and they may be interested in walking together in the Marade.
