Volunteer Tennessee Seeks input for 2019-2021 State Plan

Volunteer Tennessee, the Governor’s commission on volunteerism and service, seeks public input
to develop a new State Plan that will set the agency’s strategic direction for
the next three years.  Once developed, the new State Plan will advocate service and volunteerism as strategies to meet
critical community needs, including service through programs funded under
National Service laws.
