Community Organizational Development Facilitator in Georgia
We are looking for U.S. citizens who want to be a part of something bigger and are willing to go the distance to make a difference. Is that you?
In more than 60 countries, Peace Corps Volunteers are putting their purpose, passion, and skills to work in partnership with welcoming host communities – growing, teaching, learning, and making change together.
As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you'll live and work alongside community members on locally prioritized projects, receiving a stipend and other support as you immerse yourself in a new culture. You’ll build relationships, exchange knowledge, and help transform lives for generations.
About the project
Organizations in Georgia are looking to build internal capacity with your help.
Georgia has identified economic growth, workforce development, and youth empowerment as national priorities, embedding these goals into government strategies that promote entrepreneurship, job creation, and modern skills development. While these initiatives have yielded meaningful progress—particularly in major urban areas—many local organizations, especially in smaller towns and rural communities, continue to struggle with limited skills, resources, and funding. These challenges persist due to ongoing economic transition, dependence on external funding, and a mismatch between education systems and labor market demands. As a result, youth, women, and vulnerable populations often lack practical job skills, digital competencies, and English language proficiency required for today’s workforce. External support is needed to strengthen local organizations’ ability to deliver high-quality training, services, and opportunities within their communities.
As a Community Organizational Development Facilitator, you will collaborate with staff at a local organization to achieve financial and programmatic sustainability. Together, you will equip individuals with practical employability skills, entrepreneurship knowledge, digital literacy, project management best practices, and stronger English language skills. Your supportive role will foster better livelihoods and contribute to stronger, more resilient communities across Georgia.
