Help celebrate Peace Corps Week by stopping by the booth to learn more about the Peace Corps Prep program for undergraduates and Peace Corps service after graduation.
Peace Corps Week commemorates President John F. Kennedy’s establishment of the agency on March 1, 1961, and celebrates all the ways that Peace Corps makes a difference at home and abroad. More than 240,000 Americans have served our country and the global community as Peace Corps Volunteers, living and working alongside local leaders to catalyze change. After Volunteers complete their service, they return to the U.S. with new sets of skills, deep knowledge of other cultures and global issues, and long-lasting relationships with people from their host countries. Volunteers work in the following sectors:
• Agriculture
• Community Economic Development
• Education
• Environment
• Health
• Youth in Development
