Peace Corps Prep Program
What is the Peace Corps?
As the preeminent international service organization of the United States, the Peace Corps sends Americans abroad to tackle the most pressing needs of people around the world.
As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you work at the grassroots level toward sustainable change that lives on long after your service—at the same time becoming a global citizen and serving your country. When you return home, you bring your knowledge and experiences—and a global outlook—that enriches the lives of those around you.
Volunteers are needed to fill a variety of open positions throughout the world; however, most of these opportunities fall under six general work areas:
- Agriculture
- Community Economic Development
- Education
- Environment
- Health
- Youth in Development
