Rockville, MD – Nonprofit Montgomery will be hosting a listening session for Maryland’s Secretary of the Department of Service and Civic Innovation, Paul Monteiro. Monteiro will have the opportunity to hear from nonprofit leaders and students from the John F. Kennedy High School Leadership Training Institute who supported the SERVE ACT legislation, Governor Moore’s “service year option,” earlier this year.
The students and nonprofit leaders representing SGAP Leaders, the Student Conservation Association, Inc. National Capital Region, Service Year Alliance, and the Association for Student Conduct Administration will engage in a dialogue and provide recommendations regarding the implementation of Maryland’s service year program.
The Department of Service and Civic Innovation plans to launch the first cohort of this program this fall with at least 200 participants, expanding to 2,000 over the next four years. Participants will be paid $15/hour during their service job training and mentorship.
