Learn and Serve America Reinvestment Act

# Learn and Serve America Reinvestment Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The Learn and Serve America Reinvestment Act would reinvest in and expand the Learn and Serve America program, a federal initiative that supports service-learning opportunities for students. Service-learning combines community service with academic learning—for example, students might work on environmental cleanup projects while studying ecology. The bill aims to increase funding and support for schools and organizations that run these programs. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily benefit students from kindergarten through college, schools and educational institutions, nonprofit organizations running service programs, and communities where service projects take place.

Teachers and program coordinators would also be affected through expanded funding and resources. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill (S 2783) remains in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a floor vote in the Senate. The bill was introduced by Senator Andy Kim, a Democrat from New Jersey, but has not been enacted into law.
