PeaceCorps
Opportunities
The
Peace Corps has been a leader in international development and
citizen diplomacy for more than 50 years across more than 140
countries. In an increasingly interdependent world, we tackle
challenges that know no borders—such as climate change, pandemic
disease, food security, and gender equality and empowerment. Although
times have changed since the Peace Corps' founding in 1961, the
agency's mission—to promote world peace and friendship—has not.
Today, the Peace Corps is more vital than ever, working in
collaboration with partner organizations and using cutting-edge
technologies and well-tested best practices to enhance impact.
Our
nearly 220,000 current and returned Volunteers know that the Peace
Corps changes lives—both their own and the lives of people in
communities around the world. They learn about leadership, ingenuity,
self-reliance, and relationship building and become global citizens.
Peace Corps Volunteers reflect the very best of humanity, innovation
and aspiration for a better tomorrow. When they return home, they
share their stories and experiences and give back to their own
communities, helping to strengthen international ties and increase
our global competitiveness.
Examples of PeaceCorps placements include:
Health Education in Moldova
Youth Development in Costa Rica
Agricultural Extension in Togo
Teaching in Burkina Faso
