Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -What is this? JFK’s New Frontier policies focused on domestic programs to expand education, widen the social safety net, and encourage Americans to serve those in need. The Peace Corps, a program which sent young volunteers overseas to help those in need, was probably one of the best-known New Frontier programs.
