The City of Paso Robles is inviting residents to apply for a position in planning and organizing the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration, scheduled for Jan. 20, 2026.

The event will honor Dr. King’s legacy through a community-wide day of service.

Applications are now open for community members who wish to contribute to the planning and execution of the long-standing event, which has been celebrated in Paso Robles since the 1990s.

Volunteers will reportedly work alongside city staff to create a celebration that reflects Dr. King’s powerful message, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?”

Originally established as a federal holiday by President Bill Clinton, MLK Day was intended to encourage Americans to volunteer and serve their communities.
