IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

BINGAMAN, Mr. KERRY, and Mr. ROCKEFELLER) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on

A BILL 

To amend the National and Community Service Act of 1990 

to establish a Summer of Service State grant program, 

a Summer of Service national direct grant program, and 

related national activities, and for other purposes. 

1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 

3 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

4 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Summer of Service 

5 Act of 2007’’. 

6 SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 

7 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

2 

•S 1128 IS

1 (1) Throughout the United States, there are 

2 pressing unmet human, educational, environmental 

3 and public safety needs. 

4 (2) Americans desire to affirm common respon5 sibilities and shared values, and join together in 

6 positive experiences, that transcend race, religion, 

7 gender, age, disability, region, income, and edu8 cation. 

9 (3) Americans of all ages can improve their 

10 communities and become better citizens through 

11 service to their communities. 

12 (4) When youth participate in service activities 

13 and see that they are able to improve the lives of 

14 others, the youth feel better able to control their own 

15 lives in a positive way, avoiding risky behaviors, 

16 strengthening their community connections, and be17 coming more engaged in their own education. 

18 (5) When youth service is tied to learning objec19 tives, that service is shown to decrease alienation 

20 and behavior problems, and increase knowledge of 

21 community needs, commitment to an ethic of service, 

22 and understanding of politics and morality. 

23 (6) When service is tied to what students are 

24 learning in school, the students make gains on 

3 

•S 1128 IS

1 achievement tests, complete their homework more 

2 often, and increase their grade point averages. 

3 (7) Students who engage in service-learning im4 prove their communication skills, increase their 

5 awareness of career possibilities, have a deeper un6 derstanding of social and economic issues that face 

7 the United States, and develop more positive work8 place attitudes, preparing them to take their places 

9 as future leaders of the United States. 

10 (8) In a national poll, more than 80 percent of 

11 parents said that their child would benefit from an 

12 after school program that offered community service 

13 and 95 percent of teens agreed that is important to 

14 volunteer time to community efforts. 

15 (b) PURPOSE.—The purposes of this Act are to— 

16 (1) offer youth the chance to spend a summer 

17 in service to their communities as a rite of passage 

18 before high school; 

19 (2) teach civic participation skills to youth and 

20 help youth see themselves as resources and leaders 

21 for their communities; 

22 (3) expand educational opportunities and dis23 courage ‘‘summer slide’’ by engaging youth in sum24 mer service-learning opportunities; 

4 

•S 1128 IS

1 (4) encourage youth, regardless of age, income, 

2 or disability, to engage in community service; 

3 (5) provide tangible benefits to the communities 

4 in which Summer of Service programs are per5 formed; and 

6 (6) enhance the social-emotional development of 

7 youth of all backgrounds.
