Coming from all walks of life and representing the rich diversity of
the American people, Volunteers range in age from college students to
retirees. Every Peace Corps Volunteer’s experience is different. From
teaching English to elementary school children in Zambia to launching a
computer learning center in Moldova to promoting HIV/AIDS awareness in
South Africa to working on soil conservation in Panama, Volunteers bring
their skills and life experiences to where they are needed most.
Come visit a recruiter and returned volunteer on IUP’s campus to hear
about what it is like to serve overseas in the Peace Corps.

development. Benefits include medical, dental, and housing, as well as a
monthly living stipend, transportation to and from your host country,
graduate study benefits, 24 vacation days a year, and a $7,425
readjustment allowance after two years of service. Peace Corps has a
competitive application process that takes about one year.
