Senate Bill 364 appropriates $30.0 to SDE to support and expand the Service Learning Program in Las Vegas and nearby communities.

It encourages students to practice skills to develop character and citizenship qualities and to improve communities. Service learning allows students to explore mentorships and possible career connections.
