This document contains transcripts of oral and written testimony from witnesses at a hearing on National Youth Service. National Youth Service is a broad concept that will allow the youth of the United States to serve their country and communities through public service. Youth Service members could, after completing their service, receive education benefits in exchange for those services. Witnesses included youth service volunteers, former youth program participants, educators, and various congressional representatives. At the hearing, the witnesses explored various ideas for youth service, and looked at model programs, such as the Peace Corps, the Job Corps, the Reserve Officers Training Commission (ROTC), and other types of youth programs. Witnesses discussed the advisability of making youth service voluntary or compulsory, the types of youths who would join and the types of youths who should benefit, and the need for civic responsibility. Benefits from previous programs were outlined, and calls were made for some type of national youth service. (KC)
