Learn and Serve America Reinvestment Act

This bill increases annual funding for the Learn and Serve America program by appropriating $40 million for fiscal years 2024 and beyond. It expands eligibility to include school districts and consortia of school districts as direct applicants for grants, allowing them to lead service-learning programs. The bill requires 2-3% of funds to support tribal programs through the Bureau of Indian Affairs and allocates resources for 10 additional staff to manage program implementation. These changes aim to strengthen community service opportunities in schools through increased resources and broader participation.
