VolunteerMatch

Are you looking for a different way to share your knowledge and expertise and acquire new skills, all while living and working in a developing nation? Peace Corps may be the answer. Founded by President John F. Kennedy, the Peace Corps was created to provide education and technical training to citizens of other countries and to foster cross-cultural exchange. Since 1961, over 190,000 Volunteers have served in 139 countries around the world. Peace Corps is looking for interested people of all ages and walks of life to dedicate their time and energy helping others and learning to love new and exciting lands.

Volunteers in Peace Corps work with local and regional governments, schools, youth, community members, local non-profits, and entrepreneurs to address changing and complex needs. Unlike other organizations, Peace Corps Volunteers live and work in a local community where they provide guidance and skill transfer, as well as opportunities for cultural exchange.

Peace Corps is a 27-month commitment and provides a living allowance, full medical and dental care, transportation to and from the assigned country, as well as readjustment funds on completion of service.

Immerse yourself in a new culture and have the experience of a lifetime working with others. For more information click here or copy and paste the link below into your web browser.
