Get Ready to DoSomething Good on 9/11


9/11 Day of Service is partnering with DoSomething.org to make sure every single person and organization in the country has the opportunity to pledge their good deed for 9/11. Remember, no service activity is too small, no volunteer event too big when it comes to rekindling the spirit of service that unified our nation following September 11, 2001.

Now is the time. Here is the place. Check out how others are Joining the Movement and see what you can do to spread the spirit of service.
