AmeriCorps Office of Partnerships September 3, 2021 Honor. Serve. Unite. Promote your 9/11 opportunities using our new search tool The 20th anniversary of 9/11 is just days away. AmeriCorps is your partner to promote the value of volunteering in honor of those whose lives were lost or forever changed two decades ago.   Compiled below are tools and resources to help commemorate this Day of National Service and Remembrance.  New Search Tool Promote your #911 Day service event using the new AmeriCorps Volunteer Search tool, powered by VolunteerMatch. AmeriCorps Search aggregates short-term volunteer opportunities from AmeriCorps, Idealist, California Volunteers, JustServe, MENTOR, Volunteer.gov, and VolunteerMatch.   Post Volunteer Roles  To have your short-term volunteer opportunities available in our search, please post with, Idealist, JustServe, or VolunteerMatch. Their listings will be pulled into our results. Make sure to include #911 in the title and description so it is easily discoverable. Please post your service opportunities as soon as possible with one of the organizations mentioned above. AmeriCorps will use this search to help promote your events to media and others in your community.   Still need service ideas?  National Days of Service are a good opportunity to address a pressing need in your community. You may want to join a project already planned, or you may want to join with friends, neighbors, family members, local faith groups, or others to plan a project that could really help others.   As you think about this September 11 and how you will serve, please consider the needs of returning veterans, military members, and their families; health care professionals who still face increased demands due to COVID; helping a community or individual recover from a disaster; how you may help children start back to school with the support they need to succeed; or a refugee group that may need your support to help evacuees successfully transition into the United States.  Want to volunteer or organize others to do the same? Check out our resources created in partnership with our friends at 911day.org to spur ideas of what you can do to honor 9/11 Day and help your community.   Can't serve on 9/11?   Pledge to serve before – make a plan, post our I WILL SERVE badge on social media, and tag the organization in which you plan to support.   Join the national conversation  Communicate, communicate, communicate. Use our 9/11 Day communication resources (logos, social media graphics, templates, posters, and other outreach tools) to connect with the National Day of Service and Remembrance conversation, media, elected officials, and potential volunteers. Don't forget to use #911Day in your social media so we can share your posts. You also can share our press release helping media and the general public understand ways they can serve. We look forward to joining with you to Honor, Serve, and Unite on September 11.  Hurricane Relief   Those in the path of Hurricane Ida are probably on your mind and how you can help them recover. Here are two rules for helping after a disaster: 1. Do not self-deploy until organizations are ready to engage your help.  2. Do not spontaneously send items.  To keep up with when and how your help is needed, please visit National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (NVOAD.org). Thank you for your generosity during this time.
