The Peace Corps is a federal independent agency of the United States government. Peace Corps Volunteers serve in 60+ countries, primarily in the following sectors: Agriculture, Community Economic Development, Education, Environment, Health, and Youth in Development.
Requirements:
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. There is no upper age limit. Volunteers must be U.S. citizens.
In the Peace Corps, we take a different approach to making a difference. Our Volunteers are inspired by impact that is hands-on, grassroots-driven, and lasting. By immersing ourselves in communities abroad, the Peace Corps works side-by-side with local leaders to tackle the most pressing challenges of our generation. From leading health campaigns to boosting local entrepreneurship to teaching digital literacy, the Peace Corps offers a range of opportunities for our Volunteers to take on new challenges.
