To promote world peace and friendship through community-based development and intercultural understanding is what Peace Corps is all about “Powering human connection”.

Peace Corps Volunteers and host community partners advance and embody the mission, values, and three goals in communities around the globe. We invite you to learn more about the Peace Corps and how we promote human connection across cultures and make a lasting impact.

The three goals are
1. To help the countries interested in meeting their need for trained people.
Volunteers exchange skills and knowledge with community members to help create sustainable change through work in six sectors—Agriculture, Community Economic Development, Education, Environment, Health, and Youth in Development.

2. To help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.
Through their service, Volunteers share America and its values and also learn about local cultures, opportunities, resources, and people in their host countries.

3. To help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.
Volunteers immerse themselves in local cultures and share their experiences when they return home with family, friends, and the public. This helps promote cultural understanding, volunteerism, and public service.

Thank you for joining. If you have questions, feel free to reach out.
