Under this bill, participating youth would engage in at least 160 hours of community service over a period of two months to one year, focusing on the development of leadership, citizenship, and conflict resolution skills. Upon successful completion of the program, students would be eligible to receive a $500 national service education award to help fund their future studies. This legislation aims to provide younger adolescents with structured opportunities to serve their communities while earning financial credits toward their education.
