Answer:

Peace Corps

Step-by-step explanation:

After the end of World War II, several of the members of the United States Congress proposed projects to establish voluntary organizations in developing countries. In 1952, Senator Brien McMahon (D-Connecticut) proposed a "army" of young Americans to act as "missionaries of democracy." Private non-religious organizations began sending volunteers overseas during the 1950s.

Although President John F. Kennedy is credited with creating the Peace Corps, the first initiative came from Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, Jr. (D-Minnesota), who introduced the first project to create the Peace Corps in 1957, three years before JFK and his speech at the University of Michigan.
