September 11 National Day of Service

Written By Natalie Shea

September 11 is National Day of Service and Remembrance, a day to come together in unity and service in honor of the lives and services of those we lost on September 11. Americans of all backgrounds and ages come together to join volunteering events in their community to commemorate the sacrifices made that day and work together to make the world a better place for all. 

 

Ways to honor  

  • Take part in a volunteer project. You can find volunteering opportunities at AmeriCorps for events to celebrate Day of Service. 

  • Engage on social media. If you are volunteering or just want to voice your remembrance, share a post on social media with the hashtag #DayofService  

  • Visit a memorial. Check your local community for any 9/11 remembrance memorials and learn more from real stories. 

  • Participate in a moment of silence. Nationwide a moment of silence is held to correspond with the terrorist attacks at 8:46 a.m. ET.
