Voices of September 11th relies on the help of volunteers who share our mission of supporting the 9/11 community and all those who have been affected by terrorism.
VOICES seeks volunteers throughout the year to assist the full-time staff at our office, as well as for the September 10th and 11th Commemorative Events in Lower Manhattan. Though special skills are always welcome, our only requirement for volunteers is a desire to assist others and further VOICES' mission.
Please contact our office today for more information or to begin working with us.
