107th Congress

The teenage years are a pivotal time for young people -- a time when they are making choices that will influence the rest of their lives. The DeLauro Rite of Passage Community Service Act would create a network of service programs for middle school students to serve in their communities after school or during the summer. In addition, participants would have the opportunity to attend other programs such as workshops on leadership development, public speaking, conflict resolution and other development programs. Like AmeriCorps, after completing 160 of hours of service, participants in a Rite of Passage Service Program would be eligible for a $500 stipend to pay for college. During a time when teenagers need experiences to enrich their lives, the Rite of Passage Community Service Act would provide youth with an opportunity to connect with their communities while strengthening their personal and civic values.
