Tennessee State Parks are offering volunteer events at all 56 state parks and two state natural areas on Saturday, June 27th, for Tennessee Promise scholars to fulfill their community service hours.
Tennessee Promise Saturday includes a variety of work projects at the parks, including landscaping, invasive plant removal, litter pickup, and trail maintenance.
Participants are encouraged to wear appropriate clothing for the work and bring items such as water, snacks, and sunscreen. Students should check with each park on the activities planned and details on what they will need.
Space is limited at each site due to COVID-19. Participants are asked to bring masks or face coverings, not attend if they are sick, and to volunteer at a site close to their home. Everyone will be asked to remain six feet apart.
Tennessee Promise provides students the chance to attend tuition-free any of the state's community colleges, colleges of applied technology, or other eligible institutions offering an associate degree program.
One of the requirements to maintain eligibility is to complete eight hours of community service.
