What We Do Is about 9/12
The 9/12 Generation Project is an Innovative Solution to Teach
Youth about 9/11 through the Positive Lessons of 9/12
The 9/12 Generation Project is a ten-year, national service-learning initiative designed to instill in students the positive lessons of citizenship from 9/12. The 9/12 Generation Project operates as the youth service-learning division of New York Says Thank You Foundation—a national disaster relief organization established in 2003 at the suggestion of a five-year-old boy, which has grown into the Nation’s leading direct service volunteer organization on the 9/11 Anniversary.
Through a generous donation from the Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Foundation, all public middle schools in Arizona and NYC ( Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island) receive a FREE copy of The 9/12 Generation Project.
