From: Volunteer New York

TRIBUTE THROUGH SERVICE

Last week, we announced our upcoming 15th annual 9/11: Serve and Remember event at a press conference with Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins. 

This event holds a special place in our hearts as we commemorate the lives lost on September 11, 2001, while reaffirming our commitment to service and unity.

On Friday, September 5th, and Thursday, September 11th, we're offering opportunities to commemorate a day that changed us forever. 

Spots are filling up, but we still need your help to make a difference this 9/11 Day. Register today at www.volunteernewyork.org/serve 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 advanced registration is required to participate.
