(a) Eligible participants

                           (1) In general

        Except as provided in paragraph (2), an individual may 
    participate in a Youthbuild program receiving assistance under this 
    part only if such individual is--
            (A) 16 to 24 years of age, inclusive;
            (B) a very low-income individual or a member of a very low-
        income family; and
            (C) an individual who has dropped out of high school.

        (2) Exception for individuals not meeting income or 
                        educational need requirements

        Not more than 25 percent of the participants in such program may 
    be individuals who do not meet the requirements of either paragraphs 
    \1\ (1)(B) or (C), but who have educational needs despite attainment 
    of a high school diploma or its equivalent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ So in original. Probably should be ``paragraph''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    (3) Participation limitation

        Any eligible individual selected for full-time participation in 
    a Youthbuild program may be offered full-time participation for a 
    period of not less than 6 months and not more than 24 months.

(b) Minimum time devoted to educational services and activities

    A Youthbuild program receiving assistance under this part shall be 
structured so that 50 percent of the time spent by participants in the 
program is devoted to educational services and activities, such as those 
specified in subparagraphs (B) through (F) \2\ of section 12899c(b)(4) 
of this title.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\ So in original. Section 12899c(b)(4) of this title does not 
contain a subpar. (F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Authority restriction

    No provision of this part may be construed to authorize any agency, 
officer, or employee of the United States to exercise any direction, 
supervision, or control over the curriculum, program of instruction, 
administration, or personnel of any educational institution, school, or 
school system, or over the selection of library resources, textbooks, or 
other printed or published instructional materials by any educational 
institution or school system.

(d) State and local standards

    All educational programs and activities supported with funds 
provided under this part shall be consistent with applicable State and 
local educational standards. Standards and procedures with respect to 
the awarding of academic credit and certifying educational attainment in 
such programs shall be consistent with applicable State and local 
educational standards.

(e) Wages, labor standards, and nondiscrimination

    To the extent consistent with the provisions of this part, sections 
142, 143 and 167 of the Job Training Partnership Act [29 U.S.C. 1552, 
1553, 1577] (as in effect on the day before August 7, 1998), relating to 
wages and benefits, labor standards, and nondiscrimination, shall apply 
to the programs conducted under this part as if such programs were 
conducted under the Job Training Partnership Act [29 U.S.C. 1501 et 
seq.] (as in effect on the day before August 7, 1998). This section may 
not be construed to prevent a recipient of a grant under this part from 
using funds from non-Federal sources to increase wages and benefits 
under such programs, if appropriate.
