The Peace Corps brings together skilled, committed Volunteerswith welcoming host communities for service opportunities in more than 60countries.
Volunteers live and work side by side with community members on locally prioritized projects, building relationships, exchanging cultures and knowledge, and helping transform lives for generations.
Attend this special event featuring a panel of Black Volunteers who served in a variety of sectors and countries. Hear stories about the unique challenges and rewards of serving as a Black Volunteer alongside a community overseas.
The Peace Corps provides each Volunteer with housing and a living stipend that enables them to live and work alongside the people in their community of service. Unlike other international volunteer programs, there is no charge to participate in the Peace Corps. There is no application fee, and reimbursement of medical services that are required as part of the medical clearance process has no limit.
Upon completion of two years of service, the Peace Corps provides each Volunteer with more than $10,000 (pre-tax) to help with the transition to life back home. This money is yours to use as you wish.
