In response to the events of September 11, 2001, people served in an unprecedented way. Building upon that spirit, and encouraging young people to make a commitment to addressing critical issues, Youth Service America offers Rebuilding Community: A 9/11 Semester of Service, a free resource with ideas for launching a Semester of Service on 9/11.
