The 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance marks the 20th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks. To honor the victims, first responders, and citizens who stood up to serve our nation individuals and groups across the country will take part in tributes, memorial services, and volunteer service projects. We encourage you to join this American tradition and help your community by participating in the 9/11 Day of Service. For additional information on 9/11 Day projects and opportunities, visit 911.org and Youth Service America. If you are an organization planning a volunteer project, check out resources to help promote your event and tell your volunteer stories at https://thesocialpresskit.com/daysofservice and https://911day.org/toolkit.
