Forgot Password

Please review the following questions and answers about Current Applicant Toolkit for help with logging in and more. Note that you must receive a username and password from the Peace Corps in order to access your Current Applicant Toolkit account. The process of acquiring a Current Applicant Toolkit username and password works as follows:

1. Complete and submit your Peace Corps volunteer application.
2. Peace Corps receives the application; within 2-4 days a letter is sent (via U.S. Mail) with your username and password.
3. After receipt of the letter from Peace Corps, you should be able to access your Current Applicant Toolkit account.

Typically, there is a 7-10 day period between submitting your application and receiving your username and password in the mail. If you have received this letter and are still experiencing problems, please review the questions and suggestions below or contact your Peace Corps regional recruitment office at 1-800-424-8580.

If you know your username but have forgotten your password, click here to have a temporary password e-mailed to you.

• How do I finish my online application to become a Volunteer?

  To complete an online Volunteer Application, return to the ApplyYourself Web site (https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=pc). You need to complete the application first before you receive your username and password in the mail.

• At ApplyYourself, I typed in my e-mail address as my username. Why doesn't that work?

  If you applied online, the ApplyYourself Web site asked you to use an e-mail address as your username. Your Current Applicant Toolkit account uses a different username and password. They are issued by the Peace Corps to help you track your progress toward becoming a Volunteer, after your initial application is received.

• How do I open an Current Applicant Toolkit account?

  After your application is received, Peace Corps will mail you a letter with your username and temporary password. Please allow 7-10 days for the letter to arrive. If after that time you still have not received account information, contact your Peace Corps regional recruitment office at 1-800-424-8580.

• I received an e-mail stating that my Current Applicant Toolkit has been updated, but I don't have an Current Applicant Toolkit account. How can I login?

  Probably, you started receiving e-mail updates from the system before your account letter arrived in the mail. Please allow 7-10 days after your application was received by the Peace Corps for your new account letter to arrive. If after that time you still have not received account information, contact your Peace Corps regional recruitment office at 1-800-424-8580.

• I requested that a temporary password be e-mailed to me, but I got an error message. Why can't I request my password online?

  The "forgot password" feature is for returning users. You may only access your account, and the "forgot password" feature, after a successful login with your username and temporary password. For your protection, it is not possible to initially retrieve your password online. To use this function, you must remember the answer to your secret question.

• I did not receive an account letter; OR I have forgotten my username; OR I cannot retrieve my forgotten password. How do I request my username and password?

  Please call your regional recruitment office at 1-800-424-8580. If you have previously logged in and cannot retrieve your forgotten password, ask your regional office to re-set your password. Note: Please do not call for your account information if the Peace Corps received your application less than 10 days ago. Your account information will arrive in the mail shortly.

• I logged in and checked my status, but I have questions about the information. How can I find out more about my status?
