A program run by the state of California, California Volunteers, is recruiting paid service members to support community projects in education, climate change and food security, a presenter said.

"No prior experience is required, only commitment, willingness to learn and a desire to serve," the staff member, a program representative, said. The program is open to college students and to people who are not currently enrolled in school.

The presenter described financial support levels: students may receive up to $10,000 during an academic year; full-time positions pay $30,000 for a one-year term; and the program also offers a scholarship of up to $10,000. The staff member characterized participation as potential training for future careers.

The presentation did not specify application deadlines, total program funding, or the source(s) of the stipends. No formal votes or actions were taken during the remarks; the remarks were informational.
