State parks host TN Promise volunteer day

Students tallied up their service hours for the Tennessee Promise scholarship Saturday by volunteering at Tennessee State Parks.

All 56 state parks offered volunteer opportunities like litter cleanup, trail maintenance and event assistance as part of TN Promise Saturday.

Organizers said a goal of the event was to connect students to outdoor opportunities while also supporting their academic goals.

As part of the Tennessee Promise scholarship, students must complete eight hours of community service by July 1. The volunteer hours must be logged with a nonprofit or public service organization.
