About the bill
We can all support the lights and the camera, but what about this “action”?
Context
The U.S. government runs two primary service programs for people — primarily young people — to volunteer and help communities: the Peace Corps for international service, and AmeriCorps for domestic service. The average Peace Corps volunteer age is 28, and frequent missions include ones with educational, environmental, disaster relief, or public health aims.
However, there are far more applicants than slots; a few years ago, 86 percent of AmeriCorps applicants were rejected for lack of available places. At the same time, college costs are soaring, consistently rising faster than inflation for years now, with total student loan debt now exceeding both credit card debt and auto loan debt.
