Senate Resolution 422, sponsored by Massey, honors May 1, 2026, as Do Something Tennessee (DSTN) Day, a statewide initiative aimed at mobilizing youth, families, schools, and community organizations to engage in meaningful volunteer service. This initiative is rooted in the philosophy that "It Takes a Child to Raise a Village," emphasizing that volunteerism is a shared responsibility that should be led by youth and supported by the community. By aligning DSTN with national service movements, Tennessee aims to position itself as a leader in promoting youth civic engagement and fostering a culture of service.

The resolution highlights the efforts of Miss Knoxville Meghan Gadsden, who is spearheading the DSTN initiative by creating service opportunities across major Tennessee cities, including Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga. The initiative also seeks to strengthen the infrastructure for youth volunteerism at both the state and national levels, including advocacy for policies that incentivize volunteerism in K-12 education. The resolution commends all citizens and organizations involved in enhancing youth engagement in volunteerism and community service, recognizing their contributions to the state's social fabric.
