Allow students to work off their student debt by volunteering at our National Parks 3 to 6 months out of the year.

Student debt is absolutely crippling folks. Parents, current and former students are suffering with large interest payments. Huge burdens along with normal things that one must pay for i.e., rent, electricity, food, gas - you name it. How about this: Students who have debt from school can have the ability to WORK it off. By volunteering each summer until their college is complete to the National and/or State Park system. If a student had "enormous" debt , then that student could donate 6 months after your degree to volunteering. Add it to the AmeriCorps "Enviromental Stewardship" program. It could absolve a student from either all or a large majority of their debt. Imagine that with all of the help that they could offer three to six months out of the year, to hire more Rangers.
