What are the most popular programs at the school? You know, what do students tend to lean towards?
What do you hear from students when they talk about what they want out of life after they graduate?
Growing up, these conversations about alternatives never happened. I even went to a college preparatory middle school, which, you know, is a lot for a middle schooler. I mean... But a generation ago, were their programs like the ones you have that were appealing to mainstream kids around the country? Or, you know, is this idea of post-graduation can look a lot of different ways.
Is that a new idea? Yeah.
When we come back, we're going to look at a different idea, a civil service year. That's after this break. We're back. It's Explained to Me. And we've been talking about the changing attitudes around this idea that every single high school senior should go to college when they graduate. Kristen Bennett with the Service Year Alliance represents a different path.
What does a service year look like?
What are some of the skills that, you know, grads are gathering as they're doing this service year?
How do you go about making sure that something like this is equitable? You know, there's only like a certain group of young people who don't actually need to work and can kind of hit that pause button. Who's paying people to do this work?
Okay, Kristen, we got a call from a listener asking about mandatory public service.
I'm curious, what got you so passionate about this? Like kind of what sparked it for you?
That was Kristen Bennett, the Executive Director of Service Year Alliance. Before we let you go, we're working on an episode about the economy and how it's affecting people who are retired or about to retire. Is that you or your parents? Maybe your grandparents? Do you have questions about the future of your 401ks and Social Security? Maybe you're wondering, what's up with Medicare?
Give us a call at 1-800-618-8545. Or you can send us an email to askvox at vox.com. Thanks for listening. Talk to you soon. Bye.
