Since 1961, the Peace Corps has shared with the world America's most
precious resource—its people. Peace Corps Volunteers serve in 69 countries
in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, and the
Middle East. Collaborating with local community members, Volunteers work
in areas like education, youth outreach and community development, the
environment, and information technology.
Coming from all walks of life and representing the rich diversity of the
American people, Volunteers range in age from college students to
retirees. Every Peace Corps Volunteer's experience is different. Whether
teaching English to elementary school children in Zambia or launching a
computer learning center in Moldova to promoting HIV/AIDS awareness in
South Africa or working on soil conservation in Panama, Volunteers bring
their skills and life experiences where they are needed most.
