Do Good This 9/11 Day

SIGN UP TO SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY

In times of adversity, the spirit of New York shines the brightest.

The 13th annual 9/11: Serve and Remember community-wide day of service is more than just an event; it's a testament to our shared resilience, unity, and the power of collective action.

From Friday, September 8th to Monday, September 11th, we're offering opportunities to commemorate a day that changed us forever.

It's not merely about volunteering, it's about marking a day of significance with collective action. Register today at www.serveandremember.org and join us as we show what New Yorkers are capable of when we work together.

See below for a list of family-friendly opportunities. Please note that spaces are limited and advanced registration is required to participate.
