A little more from the article:
The program would focus on students at high schools, community colleges, vocational schools, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) as well as so-called “opportunity youth” (people between ages 16 and 24 who are neither in school nor working).
The plan would also create competitive grant funding for communities, cities and regions. And it would create new service corps, including a Climate Corps, Community Health Corps, and an Intergenerational Corps.
Pointing to polls that indicate Americans’ trust in institutions has never been lower, the Buttigieg campaign said the plan “seeks to unite a new generation of American youth by mutual service and common values.”
Currently, AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps offer young people opportunities to serve in low-income areas in the U.S. and abroad.
