National Days of Service and
Special Initiatives
Each year, AmeriCorps spearheads the effort to encourage Americans to volunteer in their communities. They do so through celebration, recognition, and reflection on special days of service and initiatives on:
-
September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance
-
Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service
On these days of service and special initiatives, AmeriCorps provides tools and resources for organizations and individuals to become engaged in service activities, including grants to organizations to support volunteer projects across a state or throughout a multi-state region.
September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance
September 11th is Patriot Day and a National Day of Service and Remembrance. On this day Americans across the country are called to volunteer in their local communities in tribute to the individuals lost and injured in the attacks, first responders, and the many who have risen in service to defend freedom.

MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service, and AmeriCorps has led this effort for the past quarter century.
