About Nashville
In Nashville, our group will have a variety of service opportunities, including partnering with local organizations through food and clothing distribution and sorting, spending time with the elderly, community beautification projects and helping facilitate youth programming. In the evenings, our group will have the chance to explore downtown Nashville, spend time at Centennial Park, taking pictures at the Parthenon and relaxing on the lawn. YouthWorks has partnered with this community since 2010.
