The Peace Corps provides an opportunity for you to gain valuable experience, enjoy travel to international destinations and offer your talent and skills to other countries and peoples through a unique placement program. Opportunities exist for all majors in various programs within the Peace Corps. Volunteers usually work with the government of the host country and considerations are made for in-country support, health issues and safety concerns. Volunteer
assignments last for two years, during which time the Peace Corps covers all relevant expenses, including travel to and from the host country, basic living expenses, and all medical and dental care. In addition to receiving a readjustment allowance, returning Volunteers can take
advantage of a number of professional and educational benefits and opportunities. Positions are available in Eastern/Central Europe, Asia & the Pacific, Latin America, Africa, and the Caribbean. The Peace Corps provides a 10-wk training program in the country of service, covering language, technical skills, and cross-cultural training. The next General Information Meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 26th at 6:00 p.m. in Ballantine Hall, room 304. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact the IU Peace Corps Campus
