The MLK Children & Youth Program celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by providing a day of activities and events designed specifically for children and teens in grades Pre-K through 12. Throughout these memorable years, these activities have been filled with fun, creativity, dialogue, and entertainment and included storytelling, guided discussions and group projects, skits, rap poetry, and various musical performances. The program is facilitated by capable adults, many of whom are professional educators, youth workers, or students in the School of Education at the University of Michigan who have experience working with children or who are preparing to become teachers.
