The Office for Community & Civic Engagement will recognize the tragic events of 9/11/2001 by providing a variety of opportunities for you to get engaged in our community!
The goal of 9/11 Day is to provide a positive way for all people to forever remember and pay tribute to the 9/11 victims, honor those that rose in service in response to the attacks, and remind people of the importance of working more closely together in peace to improve our world.
If you cannot make it to one of our events, we invite you to volunteer where you are! UNCP Serve offers a variety of partners and opportunities for you to engage with agencies in your community.
