9/11 National Day of Service

With the remembrance of the national tragedy that took place on September 11th ten years ago comes our first AmeriCorps National Service Day of the year.  What better way to honor those lives lost than to join together in solidarity with our neighbors to be of service to our communities?  The hard work of our Corps leaders is reflected in the impressive number of Campus Corps-supported service projects taking place throughout the state. If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late to get involved. Contact your nearby Corps leader to see how you can participate in this year's 9/11 national Day of Service!
