Tuesday's Children
Tuesday's Children is a non-profit family service organization that has made a long term commitment to every individual impacted by the events of September 11, 2001 and more recently those who have been impacted by terrorist incidents worldwide. Since 2001, Tuesday's Children has promoted healing and recovery by strengthening family resilience, providing individual coping and life management skills and creating community through programs, mental health support and family engagement opportunities.
In recent years, we have expanded to provide programs, advocacy, workshops and counseling services to rescue and recovery workers such as policemen, firemen, volunteers and their families through the First Responder Alliance. We have also globally extended our services with Project Common Bond, a program designed to bring together international communities of young adults whose lives were drastically affected by acts of terrorism.

resources for long-term recovery. The Association maintains an active database of 4,500 immediate family members of victims who died on September 11,
2001 at the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and passengers on the four planes. Since June 2002 the Association has published a quarterly newsletter of
resources and information for 9/11 families. The Tribute WTC Visitor Center is a project of the September 11th Families' Association that offers visitors
to the World Trade Center site a place where they can connect with people from the September 11th community. Through walking tours, exhibits and programs,
the Tribute WTC Visitor Center offers "Person to Person History," linking visitors who want to understand and appreciate these historic events
with members of the 9/11 community who experienced them firsthand. Family members, survivors, recovery workers, volunteers, and residents of Lower
Manhattan volunteer at the Tribute Center to share their personal experiences with visitors. More details here

National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center
The National September 11 Memorial & Museum is the not-for-profit (501c3), created to oversee the design, raise the funds, and program and operate the Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center site. The Memorial & Museum will be located on eight of the 16 acres of the site.
The Memorial will remember and honor the nearly three thousand people who died in the horrific attacks of February 26, 1993, and September 11, 2001. The design, created by Michael Arad and Peter Walker, consists of two pools that reside in the footprints of the original Twin Towers, surrounded by a plaza of oak trees.
The Museum will display monumental artifacts associated with the events of September 11, while presenting intimate stories of loss, compassion, reckoning and recovery that are central to telling the story of September 11 and its aftermath. It will communicate key messages that embrace both the specificity and the universal implications of the events of 9/11; document the impact of those events on individual lives, as well as on local, national, and international communities; and explore the continuing significance of these events for our global community.

MyGoodDeed.org: The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance
Their mission has been focused on establishing 9/11 as an officially recognized National Day of Service, to honor the lives of the thousands who were
killed and injured on 9/11, to pay tribute to the many who aided in the rescue and recovery efforts, and to rekindle the remarkable spirit of unity and
service that existed in our nation in the days following 9/11. On April 21, 2009, President Barack Obama signed legislation that for the first time
officially establishes September 11 as a federally recognized National Day of Service and Remembrance. By pledging to volunteer, perform good deeds, or
engage in other forms of charitable service during the week of 9/11, you and your organization will help rekindle the remarkable spirit of unity, service
and compassion shared by so many in the immediate aftermath of the attacks. And you'll help create a fitting, enduring and historic legacy in the name
of those lost and injured on 9/11, and in tribute to the 9/11 first responders, rescue and recovery workers, and volunteers, and our brave military
personnel who continue to serve to this day. Visit www.911day.org to sign up now to participate

Voices of September 11th — 9-11 Living Memorial Project
Voices of September 11th (VOICES) was founded in 2001 by 9/11 family members, Mary Fetchet and Beverly Eckert to provide information and a wide range of support services for all those impacted by the attacks on September 11, 2001. Led by Mary Fetchet, a clinical social worker and educator who lost her 24 year old son Brad, VOICES dedicated staff provides continuity of care and facilitates programs that promote resiliency and address the intergenerational needs of 9/11 families, rescue workers and survivors.
In 2006 VOICES launched the 9/11 Living Memorial Project to assist families in the process of creating a meaningful tribute to the nearly 3,000 lives lost and to document the stories of thousands of rescue workers and survivors at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, PA. Today, the 9/11 Living Memorial is an extensive online collection of over 60,000 photographs, written tributes and personal keepsakes contributed by families, so the world will always remember the lives of those lost and the inspirational stories of those who survived. The 9/11 Living Memorial will continue to expand and become a core component of exhibits at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
With offices in Connecticut, New Jersey and Washington, DC, VOICES membership has grown to over 13,000 families living in the United States and abroad. VOICES experienced social workers provide a wide array of support services including case management, support groups, educational programs, workshops and an annual Day of Remembrance Information on September 10th and September 11th Commemorative Luncheon. 9/11 Living Memorial workshops are conducted in communities around the country.
