Since 2002, families of loved ones who perished in the terrorist attacks have been engaging in acts of service to pay tribute to those who rose to service in response to the tragedies of 9/11. In an effort to build support for this idea, 9/11 has been designated a National Day of Service and Remembrance and eventually established into law.
To honor the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is challenging nonprofit organizations to act in accordance with the law. In the spirit of unity, compassion, and remembrance, organizations are challenged to bring Americans together to engage in service projects that are linked to the tragedy that occurred on 9/11.
Met Council will be participating in the National Day of Service and Remembrance with emergency preparedness workshops across the city. For more information, please contact volunteer@metcouncil.org. We highly encourage you to get involved for this special day.
