Kennedy plans expand service programs with funding boost
The proposal would add about 60 million for a National Service Corps open to young and older volunteers. It would recruit 100 to 200 volunteers initially, growing to 5,000, paying six to eight dollars a day with a possible year-end bonus. An Overseas Peace Corps expansion to 13,000 volunteers and nearly 50 million more for a larger corps are also in Kennedy’s budget. The juvenile delinquency federal-state program would be extended three years.
