Bill > S1038

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Service Alliance (MSA) to coordinate and promote volunteer involvement and citizen participation across the commonwealth. The MSA will serve as the state's liaison to national and state organizations supporting its mission, and will establish guidelines and programs to reform, expand, and implement community service and volunteer opportunities. The bill also requires the integration of community service-learning into public school curricula and teaching practices, and creates a Commonwealth Student Corps to coordinate student community service activities. Additionally, the bill establishes several financial incentive programs, including loan repayment, scholarships, and housing vouchers, to encourage students to participate in community service and volunteer opportunities.
