Commenter, a speaker on the Rob on the Road program, urged Californians to participate in state volunteer programs, highlighting the California Service Corps, the Neighbor to Neighbor initiative and the Climate Action Counts campaign.

“We have to decide what kind of country we wanna be,” Commenter said. “We need people to step up in a big way. We need people to wanna serve, to wanna be connected.”

The speaker framed the three efforts as avenues for building community and giving residents opportunities to serve. “It’s why we’ve created the California Service Corps, which gives people paid opportunities to serve,” Commenter said, adding that Neighbor to Neighbor “gives people the opportunity to get to know their neighbors and work side by side with the neighbors.” The speaker also cited Climate Action Counts as a way “that every single Californian can take climate action in a meaningful way.”

The remarks were promotional in tone and presented the initiatives as ways to increase civic connection and climate engagement. No budget figures, eligibility rules or implementation timelines were provided during the remarks, and no formal action, vote or direction to staff was recorded in the transcript.

Details about program administration, funding sources and how to apply or enroll were not specified in the program segment provided. The speaker characterized the California Service Corps as providing “paid opportunities to serve” but did not state who funds those positions or which agency administers them.

Because the comments occurred during a short program segment, there was limited discussion or follow-up questioning recorded. Additional information about the initiatives would be required to determine scope, funding and implementation timelines.
