35-second read · 4 questions answered below
This bill adds child development and early learning programs, including Head Start and Early Head Start, to the list of qualifying community service jobs under the Federal Work-Study program. Right now, community service work-study jobs include things like literacy training, but early childhood programs are not on that list.
College students who receive Federal Work-Study aid would be affected, as would early childhood programs like Head Start centers that serve low-income young children and families.
Early childhood programs could gain access to more student workers. College students would have a broader set of work-study job options available to them.
