Galloway highlights the potential for these volunteers to gain valuable skills and contribute to essential sectors, while also receiving financial incentives for their future education 1.

    Implementation

    Galloway outlines a detailed plan for implementing the Corona Corps, emphasizing its cost-effectiveness and potential long-term benefits. He suggests reallocating a small percentage of COVID-19 stimulus funds to support this initiative, which he believes would be a wise investment in the nation's future. By engaging young people in service, the program aims to cultivate skills, empathy, and leadership qualities that could lead to greater bipartisan cooperation in the future 3.

    Let's fund a corona corps of young people who achieve true greatness for our country while developing skills, empathy and grit.
