- In their church
- Among their peers and friends
- And, influencing the generation under them
Participants will spend 3 days living on Calvin’s campus with an approved Calvin student host. In addition, they will participate in a featured workshops, seminars, a community Service-Learning project, dorm life, campus fun, an inspirational movie, discussions and our annual Martin Luther King March on campus. And, at the completion of the program, parents are invited to join our staff in celebrating our young leaders in our celebration reception. If a student is interested in bettering their community, themselves and developing their leadership skills, then the MLK Weekend program is for them.
