Since I experienced the events of September 11th first hand, I felt I was fitting to volunteer my time and to share what I had witnessed on that day.

Mission:

Tribute WTC Visitor Center 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 those who experienced them.

History:

Tribute WTC Visitor Center is a project of the September 11th Families' Association, a 501(C)3 non-profit corporation. The organization was created by Marian Fontana, Fire Department families and others in the immediate aftermath of September 11th. The mission was to establish a viable communications network for families of victims of February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001. Respected and trusted, the Association grew, providing information resources. The Association publishes newsletters devoted to important issues of interest to the entire 9/11 community, (survivors, residents, recovery workers, volunteers and family members). In 2004 the Association broadened its mission to create Tribute, a place where members of the September 11th community could connect with each other and with the thousands of visitors who come daily to the World Trade Center site (often called Ground Zero).
