§ 12501. Findings and purpose
(a) Findings
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Throughout the United States, there are
pressing unmet human, educational, environ-
mental, and public safety needs.
(2) Americans desire to affirm common re-
sponsibilities and shared values, and join to-
gether in positive experiences, that transcend
race, religion, gender, age, disability, region,
income, and education.
(3) The rising costs of postsecondary edu-
cation are putting higher education out of
reach for an increasing number of citizens.
(4) Americans of all ages can improve their
communities
and
become
better
citizens
through service to the United States.
(5) Nonprofit organizations, local govern-
ments, States, and the Federal Government
are already supporting a wide variety of na-
tional service programs that deliver needed
services in a cost-effective manner.
(6) Residents of low-income communities, es-
pecially youth and young adults, can be em-
powered through their service, and can help
provide future community leadership.
(b) Purpose
It is the purpose of this chapter to—
(1) meet the unmet human, educational, en-
vironmental, and public safety needs of the
United States, without displacing existing
workers;
(2) renew the ethic of civic responsibility
and the spirit of community and service
throughout the varied and diverse commu-
nities of the United States;
(3) expand educational opportunity by re-
warding individuals who participate in na-
tional service with an increased ability to pur-
sue hig
