The commission shall focus its efforts primarily on issues related to education, public safety, human needs and the environment. 3. The commission shall work to renew the ethic of civic responsibility in Missouri and to involve and enroll citizens in service opportunities that benefit Missouri while offering citizens skills that can be used to further their own plans for education, for a career, or for continuing community services. The commission shall build on the existing organizational framework of state, local, and community-based programs and agencies to expand full-time and part-time service opportunities for all citizens, but particularly Missouri's youth.
