Community service programs would prioritize recruiting more underrepresented people, including men.
This bill would make it a main goal for national and community service programs to include more people who haven't joined much before. It would require programs to prioritize recruiting and training underrepresented groups, including men, for activities like youth mentoring and disaster response. This would change how these programs select projects and assign volunteers.
Today, national and community service laws do not specifically require programs to focus on bringing in underrepresented groups. If this bill becomes law, it would make expanding participation by these groups a main goal. It would also require national service programs and domestic volunteer assignments to prioritize recruiting and training underrepresented participants, including men, for a wide range of community activities.
