At the Coliseum in 1964, Dr. King passionately and persuasively addressed 15,000 Angelenos on the issues of race relations and human dignity. Join Repair the World as we honor Dr. King as part of LA Work's MLK Day event at the Coliseum! We have shifted the MLK Volunteer Festival event’s activities to help address some of the more immediate needs of individuals and families impacted by the fires. In addition to our projects, we will be collecting very specific items to benefit those impacted by the fires: What Donations to Bring: Non-perishable food items, full-sized toiletry items, phone chargers, new socks, hand warmers, beanies, blankets, etc. NO CLOTHING. The donation drop-off point will be located outside of the main entrance to the festival (Gate 4).

Michael Auerbach
he/him
City Director, Los Angeles
Michael (he/him) is thrilled to bring Repair’s fellowship program to Los Angeles, as he greatly believes in the power of service to bring people together in common cause. Previously, Michael spent six years as the Executive Director of Kinful – a K-12 social-emotional learning/intercultural exchange program connecting students in the U.S. with peers in South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania, Turkey, and Ukraine. His passion for pursuing social justice through service-learning began in the Peace Corps as a Girls’ Education & Empowerment Volunteer in Mauritania and was later bolstered while serving as a United States – China Friendship Volunteer (what a title!) in Chongqing. Following the Peace Corps, Michael served as a Shriver Peaceworker Fellow in Baltimore with the Choice Program, whose mission is to disentangle young people from the juvenile justice system by strengthening youth and family ties to their communities. After his fellowship, he became the AmeriCorps Program Director, and later Director of Public Partnerships, for Blue Engine in NYC, whose mission is to maximize the potential inherent in every classroom, teacher, and student, so that every learner thrives no matter their race, income level, or learning style. During this time he also served as a Franklin Project Ambassador at the Aspen Institute (now Service Year Alliance) advocating for inclusive and equitable pathways to service in America. Michael holds a Bachelor’s in International Studies from the University of South Florida, and a Master’s in Public Policy from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. In his free time, he enjoys surfing, playing video games, and telling everyone he meets why Deep Space Nine is the best Star Trek series.
