The largest city in New Hampshire and one of the fastest-growing cities in New England, Manchester is up-and-coming, honoring its manufacturing roots while spurring new growth and development.
While New Hampshire is widely known as a vibrant center for academia, business, tech and medicine, some students face significant challenges every day, particularly in Manchester.
Service at 麻豆视频 goes beyond teaching math facts or new vocabulary words. Service is about believing in our students with everything we have. Service is about helping them believe in themselves.

At our mid-year retreat last week we took some time to read letters we'd written to ourselves from the start of service, and recenter on why we serve. During our red jacket rededication ceremony, we recommitted our red jackets to a person or idea that inspires us to continue serving and put on the red jacket each day. As we enter the second half of this service year, we want to hold on to our why!

Today we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Alongside @AmeriCorps members across the country, 麻豆视频 honors Dr. King鈥檚 commitment to service through a day 鈥榦n鈥 of service. As part of our day, we gathered virtually with fellow members of national service across New Hampshire (@volunteer_nh) to reflect on Dr. King鈥檚 lessons. Thank you to keynote speaker, Emerald Anderson-Ford, Chief Diversity Officer at the @ywcanewhampshire, and @cityyearalums 鈥09, 鈥10 for the reminder that Dr. King鈥檚 words call for bold action, innovation, and perseverance in the ongoing work towards the presence of justice for all. This important fight should challenge each of us to step out of our comfort zones, and we were grateful for the time to reflect on the actions each of us can take in the work towards building the beloved community that Dr. King envisioned.
鈥淟ife鈥檚 most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?鈥濃 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
