'Biggest nightmare': National Park Service quietly kills program after 15 years

[mopinko]

5. screwing w the next gen is about as stupid and evil as it gets, imho.

that’s my yardstick, always. mothers & babies, school kids, and young ppl getting started in life.
get that rt, and no matter how much u f up the rest, we will survive. just dont f up the rest, and we will thrive.
they kill americorp, i’m sure they-‘ll f up the peace corps, and now this. these kids work for peanuts. and the ppl who run these programs get paid peanuts, too, compared to what they cd get in private industry.

well, they r well on their way to their goal of burning it all down.

ftr- i support a yr of community service to hs grads. these program change lives. americorp saved my son, a kid of privilege who struggled anyway. the kids he served w were mostly not so lucky, but the program boosted them even more.
i had high hopes for a new civilian conservation corps that was talked about under biden.
