More children eligible for program
If enacted, the bill would expand who can use the Every Kid Outdoors benefit. Fifth graders and home-schooled learners who are 10 or 11 years old would be added to program eligibility. This change would not itself provide money or change how the program is funded.
More funding for Every Kid Outdoors
If enacted, the bill would authorize $25,000,000 per year for the Every Kid Outdoors program. The Secretaries and the National Park Service would be able to use this money for staff and operations, promotion and distribution of resources to schools, youth-serving groups, parents, and caregivers. The money would also be usable for transportation to help schools and youth groups with the greatest financial need and for targeted outreach to underserved communities and children with disabilities. The authorization would not itself appropriate funds or specify how the money is split.
