You've looked through the website. Maybe you've
talked to your friends about the Peace Corps, or even attended a recruiting
event. Now what do you do? How do you know if you're qualified to join the
Peace Corps? And how do you go about applying?
Serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer means 27 months of hard work. It takes determination, flexibility,
patience, and a sense of humor. And while applying to the Peace Corps is easier than being a Volunteer,
the qualities that make a good Volunteer will also come in handy during the application process. Yes, applying
to become a Volunteer takes some time, preparation, and effort. But as with volunteering, the rewards far
outweigh the difficulties.
