Mayor Demings' Seal

Information

In the spirit of bringing the message of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to unincorporated areas of Orange County and surrounding communities, Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings has created the first Orange County Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Initiative. Dr. King’s lifelong commitment to civil rights, nonviolence, and justice for all remains promising in today’s society. Through inclusiveness and collaboration, this initiative will commemorate his work and legacy for years to come.

Upcoming Events

Join us for this year's Youth Networking Expo, presented by Orange County's Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Initiative and Black Men Build. The Expo will provide students with a realistic view of life after graduation — including college, trade school, volunteer work, the military, or entering the workforce — along with practical advice for planning their future. It will offer an honest and engaging look at the different opportunities awaiting them, to help students start thinking about and preparing for their next steps.
