“Cyber Corps” - like Peace Corps?

What do you think of this idea from a colleague?

Establish a "Cyber Corps" - set up like the Peace Corps - for cyber monitoring and early alerts, as well as for educational purposes. Students studying cyber security would be a community asset (but not in terms of cyber war or cyber defense). The purpose would be training for future cyber warriors while concurrently helping their community. The cyber corps tasks could be to monitor and report, and to provide sensing and early warning, etc.

Rationale: Since students must reproduce scenarios in a lab anyway, why not place them in a real environment with white or gray hats instructing?

Your thoughts, please?
