Deadline: 29-Jul-22
The Virginia Service Foundation is now accepting applications for 2022 Service Project Mini-Grants.
What is 9/11 day of service?
- The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance (9/11 Day), is a chance to help others in tribute to those killed and injured on September 11, 2001, first responders, and the countless others who serve to defend the nation’s freedom at home and around the globe.
- Beginning in 2002, family members who lost loved ones lead the effort for an appropriate and fitting tribute to honor their loved ones and those who volunteered to serve our country in response to the tragedy. The leadership and efforts of these family members resulted in the legislative establishment of the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance in April of 2009. AmeriCorps was charged with supporting this effort across the county.
- Each year, AmeriCorps works with 9/11Day.org, state service commissions, and faith-based, local, and national organizations to exp and volunteering that honors the sacrifice of the families affected by September 11, 2001.
