National service programs
National Service Programs are government initiatives that encourage citizens, often young adults, to engage in voluntary service to their communities or the country. These programs can include various activities such as community development, education, environmental conservation, and disaster relief. Participants gain valuable experience, skills, and often educational benefits or stipends in return for their service. The goal is to foster civic engagement, strengthen communities, and address societal challenges. Examples include AmeriCorps in the United States and similar programs in other countries that promote volunteerism and public service.
