Ready for an exciting challenge? Want to explore a new culture, a new land? Possibly even make a difference while doing so? If so, you may be ready to join thousands of other Americans who are volunteering with the Peace Corps. Listen to Peace Corps recruiters Janet Schuhl and Jessica Lampron share their Peace Corps journies. Schuhl and Lampron will explain why today’s Peace Corps is more relevant than ever and how volunteers from all backgrounds can make a difference in other people’s lives as well as their own.
Peace Corps is looking for qualified applicants to spend two years working in one of over 70 countries. Peace Corps Volunteers have a chance to learn a new language, live in another culture, and develop career and leadership skills.
Other benefits of two years of Peace Corps service include medical and dental care, a living allowance, 24 paid vacation days per year, student loan deferment opportunities, and the experience of a lifetime. Upon completion of service, Volunteers receive non-competitive eligibility status for most government jobs. The agency has also established partnerships with colleges and universities that offer academic credit and financial incentives to Volunteers during or after Peace Corps service.
