The programs already exist - and time in the PeaceCorps or in AmeriCorps count toward the 10 year government service requirement of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. Maybe the programs and the reward need tweaking and some marketing, but they are there.

Disagree with those in this thread arguing for this as a requirement for voting. Some young people would not be able to do this for any number of reasons - illness, need to care for a family member (child, sibling, parent, etc.) If you’re a legal citizen over 18, the right to vote should be unencumbered.
