9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance

This year, we commemorate the first September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. The tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, inspired Americans to come together in a remarkable spirit of unity and compassion.

In April, President Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which among many other wonderful things, officially recognizes Sept. 11 as a Day of Service and Remembrance.
This year, the President is asking all Americans to remember that day eight years ago and recommit to service in their communities throughout the year.

Between now and Sept. 11, please visit our virtual open house to see how you can get involved. Just go to www.vcstory.org to read a special message from Volunteer Center staff, and find volunteer opportunities that you would be interested in signing up for. While you’re there, participate in an online scavenger hunt for a chance to win a volunteer gift basket!
