This report focuses on youth service as a vital component of education for citizenship. The following six major recommendations to encourage voluntary student and youth services are offered: (1) creation of quality student service opportunities as central to the fundamental educational program of every public school, including either elective credit or graduation requirement service, and age-appropriate curricula and instruction from kindergarten through twelfth grade; (2) state-level encouragement of local school jurisdiction efforts to enlist the young in serving their communities, including the provision of sufficient financial and technical assistance to ensure high quality programs; (3) financial support from business, local foundations, city and state resources, and organizations whose constituents are served by youth, to ensure the availability to young people of the maturing effects of service to others and the use of diverse methods to achieve this goal; (4) unification of youth service organizations into a nationwide service federation; (5) support for federal financial assistance to launch youth service programs, with emphasis on meeting state and local needs; and (6) revitalization of existing national service programs and serious consideration of a National Youth Conservation Corps.
