This interview, entitled "Keeping the Peace: A look at the Peace Corps and the services it offers around the world," conducted by Hilarie Barsky of ABC News, features both Peace Corps Director Ronald A. Tschetter and former Peace Corps Volunteer Joe Kennedy.

Director Tschetter talks about the state of the Peace Corps today, including the wave of baby boomers who now have a renewed interest in joining the Peace Corps and serving abroad.

Joe Kennedy, whose great uncle, President John F. Kennedy, founded the Peace Corps in 1961, talks about his own experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Dominican Republic from 2004-2006, and how his volunteer experience has had a great influence on his life.

A video of the interview can be viewed on the ABC News website.
