## Summary

**Expands and funds Learn and Serve America service-learning programs.** This bill would provide a recurring direct appropriation to the Corporation for National and Community Service and broaden who can receive awards to support school-based service-learning. - Families and students: More local education agencies, including consortia of two or more LEAs, could run service-learning programs and qualify for awards. That opens more schools to federal support for student community service. - State education agencies and partners: State education agencies could designate statewide entities — community-based groups, nonprofits that train teachers and youth workers, or State Commissions on National and Community Service — to receive awards and run programs. - Tribes and territories: The bill would reserve 2 to 3 percent of awards for payments to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and require competitive grants to State educational agencies, territories, and Indian tribes. - Corporation for National and Community Service operations: It would provide $40.0 million annually for subtitle B programs and authorize additional sums to hire at least 10 new full-time CNCS staff to support planning, program design, and technology improvements. *This bill would increase federal spending by at least $40.0 million per year beginning in fiscal year 2026, plus unspecified additional sums to hire at least 10 staff.*
