THE 2025 CAMBRIDGE
MLK DAY OF SERVICE & Learning

“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve.
You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve.
You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”

― Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
