Welcome to the MLK Day Lead Organizer Corner. This is a place where you can ask YSA staff and other organizational grantees questions, celebrate your successes, and access information specific to your grant. This will be the most up-to-date source of YSA information for you. Please check this page periodically or if you have a question so we can continue to build our community together.

YSA and CNCS will try to provide you with as much media support as possible. To start, CNCS will continue to make journalist and media information for regions around the country available. You can access these media lists at http://mlkday.gov/mediatools/. If you have specific questions, please email me (Mike Man) at mman@ysa.org.
Here are directories of all of YSA's organizational grant recipients. For the ones with verified Google Places profiles, they are linked to that so the main office number, website, etc will be as up to date as the profile on Google. Please consider updating this and letting me know so I can update these directories. If you are not the contact listed for your organization, also let me know so I can update it. These maps are not public, meaning that they will not show up in search results, are not posted anywhere else, and can only be accessed by the links below.
