Volunteer State First Lady Maria Lee recently launched a new initiative, Tennessee Serves. Through this initiative, she plans to serve, highlight and mobilize Tennesseans to help one another and their communities.

One component of the mobilization effort is the Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge where rising kindergarteners through sixth grade are asked to devote a portion of their summer break to service. Top participants will be invited to join the governor and first lady for a celebration at the Tennessee Residence in September.
