Bill > SB820

This bill makes permanent and renames the Community Builders Pilot Program as the Community Builders Program, effectively removing its scheduled expiration date of July 1, 2027. The program, which aims to reduce youth involvement in gun violence and increase community engagement among public school students in Roanoke City and Petersburg City, provides opportunities for workforce development, postsecondary education exploration, and social-emotional learning both after school and during the summer. The bill also repeals provisions from previous legislative acts that would have otherwise affected the program's sunset clause.
