Dodd proposes 100-hour national service plan for high schoolers
Connecticut senator Chris Dodd, campaigning in Iowa, pitched a universal national service plan that would triple the Peace Corps and require high school students to complete 100 hours of service before graduation. He framed the idea as expanding shared experiences beyond Iraq and education, drawing mixed reactions from audiences as he toured Wellman and Cedar Rapids during the Fourth of July events.
