How We Serve
Educating the Next Generation
We’re bringing students to places where history becomes real, from The National WWII Museum to the 9/11 Memorial. We’re also providing scholarship opportunities for family members of fallen or disabled heroes and workshops for the leaders of tomorrow.
Teaching the Importance of Service Before Self
History At Risk
9/11 Could Fade From Our Collective Memory
Only 15 States Require Education About 9/11. Many schools lack the resources, curriculum, or firsthand perspectives to teach 9/11 in a meaningful way. This creates a critical gap in understanding a pivotal moment that continues to shape our national identity and the lives of our military, first responders, and their families.
Forgotten Values & Lessons
A Growing Disconnect Between Generations
After twenty years at war, the residual effects still remain, even in peacetime. A growing disconnect separates those who serve from a public that benefits from their sacrifice, yet the character, courage, and compassion shown after 9/11 offer enduring lessons in leadership and the importance of service before self.
Overlooked For Opportunities
Some Educational Benefits Don’t Extend To All Families
Government programs can only do so much. Many families of severely wounded and fallen heroes do not qualify for full federal education benefits. It’s up to us to bridge the gap in support.
The Cost of Freedom
2,976
Nearly 3,000 people died and thousands more were injured on 9/11. Even today, many first responders suffer the health effects from working at Ground Zero.
We Never Forget. Will You?

United In Grief
On Its Worst Day, America Was At Its Best
Educating our youth about 9/11 ensures that the bravery, sacrifice, and unity shown on one of our nation’s darkest days are never forgotten. It helps a generation born after the attacks understand the profound impact that day had on our country and the heroes who responded.
Brighter Futures
Valor Scholars: Scholarships For Families of Fallen or Disabled Heroes
We’re partnering with educational institutions to bridge the gap in support faced by Chapter 35-eligible families. Together, we’re providing scholarships to remind these families their sacrifices are never forgotten.
The Next Generation Of Leaders
Leadership Workshops
We host young people at our Nashville headquarters to not only learn about leadership, but also receive a private office tour of our Founder’s journey from self to service.
We also offer teacher development programs with partners like the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and National 9/11 Memorial & Museum, equipping educators to inspire engaged citizenship through lessons of courage, sacrifice, and service.

I need to serve.
This trip has made me realize that whatever I do with my life I have to do with the intention of serving. I need to serve. I need to do enough.
