- Summary:
-
This document contains transcripts of oral and written testimony from witnesses at a hearing on H.R. 18 and H.R. 460, which would create a National Youth Corps. The National Youth Corps proposal links two other proposals, the Conservation Corps bill and the National Youth Service bill, into a comprehensive bill to provide alternatives for youth in both urban and rural areas. The National Youth Corps bill proposes to hire young people to perform public service, such as conservation and clean-up chores, at minimum wage. The Youth Corps also would provide some education to these youths, provide job-placement assistance after the 2-year program, and possibly provide dormitory-style housing and supervision. Witnesses testifying included the director of the Philadelphia Youth Service Corps, executives from various conservation organizations, the president of the Philadelphia Private Industry Council, the chairman of the Ogilvy Group (advertising and marketing involvement for the New York City Volunteer Corps and other organizations), and various congressional representatives. Witnesses testified about the desirability of such a National Youth Corps, of the benefits it could provide the country and the youths involved, about their personal experiences with current programs or the Civilian Conservation Corps in their youth.
