The Peace Corps program lets you volunteer your time to help people in a developing country with basic needs for food, health care, shelter, education, and economic development. If you become a Peace Corps volunteer, you will spend at least 2 years in the program. You must complete 8 to 16 weeks of training, which includes language courses and an orientation on the culture for the country you will be providing service to. You will receive a monthly allowance, health services, and vacation during the 2-year service time.


How do I volunteer?

To get more information about volunteer opportunities, contact a local Peace Corps recruiter.
