Senate Joint Resolution 992, sponsored by Senator Massey, designates May 1, 2026, as "Do Something Tennessee Day" in the state of Tennessee. This resolution aims to promote a statewide day of action that encourages youth, families, schools, and community organizations to engage in meaningful volunteer service. The initiative, known as Do Something Tennessee (DSTN), is rooted in the philosophy that community responsibility for volunteerism should be both youth-led and inclusive of the entire community. By aligning this day with national service movements, Tennessee seeks to enhance its role in fostering youth civic engagement and a culture of service.

The DSTN initiative is led by Miss Knoxville Meghan Gadsden, who will coordinate service opportunities across major cities in Tennessee, including Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga. The resolution highlights the importance of strengthening the infrastructure for youth volunteerism and includes plans for advocacy at the national level to incentivize volunteerism within K-12 education. The resolution concludes by expressing appreciation for the efforts of individuals and organizations dedicated to increasing youth participation in volunteerism and community service.
