Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to include child development and early learning as community services under the Federal work-study program.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to expand the definition of community services under the Federal Work-Study program. Specifically, the bill adds "child development and early learning" to the existing list of community services, which includes literacy training. The new language explicitly mentions Head Start and Early Head Start programs, which are federally funded comprehensive early childhood education programs designed to support low-income children and their families. By making this change, the bill aims to encourage college students participating in the Federal Work-Study program to engage in child development and early learning activities, potentially providing more opportunities for students to gain experience in education and childcare while also supporting local educational programs. The bill is titled the "Head Start for Our Future Act" and would modify the existing law by inserting the new language into Section 441(c)(1) of the Higher Education Act.
