The Peace Corps seems like a wonderful opportunity for those who maybe don't have a career path chosen just yet, or for those who are determined to help our world recover from the damages we have done to it.

When I was in 8th grade I learned about the peace corps and thought that was what I want to although i found that it wasn't the right option for me. Reading about the peace corps striked my interest again and I am excited to listen to our speaker tomorrow. I love to help people and that is what the peace corps is all about. Also the educational opportunities are amazing!

After reading more on the Peace Corps, I realized how cool it is. It bring such great opportunities to help countries in need.  It is a cool way to explore other cultures and learn new things. The US is providing a great organization that sets an example for the rest of the world.

The Peace Corps is a magnificent organization packed with opportunities to help others. Not just through things such as donations but opportunities to travel and actually immerse yourself and take physical action. It is a great concept to me. - Donald Johnson

The Peace Corps is an organization that is invested in aiding in the development of other countries. If you choose to participate in the peace corps, you would spend two years in another country volunteering in schools and homes and learning about new cultures and gaining new experiences. -Ana Jukic

The Peace corps is about more than just volunteering. It's about the impact you provide for others and yourself. Going to these places in need slows you to discover the world that we all live in. Everyone of us need to do our part to make Earth a better place to live. What I realized about the peace corps is that it's not focused on making one big change all of a sudden, but instead doing the little things that add up and make a big impact. -Dustin Grant

The Peace Corps was founded by the Kennedy administration in 1961. The goal of the organization is to encourage economic and social development in foreign countries, particularly in the developing world. When one joins the Peace Corps, they have the opportunity to learn new cultures, languages, and make new lifelong friends.

Although the Peace Corps isn't open to teenagers under the age of 18, there are similar programs for younger people.
Take, for  instance, GLOBAL LEADERSHIP ADVENTURES, founded by a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Click image below). You could also research the website sustainablesummer.org, or do a general search using the term "service learning" which will connect you to lots of information about work you could do in the US and abroad.

The Peace Corps is a great opportunity for both you and others. Being able to experience different cultures for yourself while helping others who need it is a great leaning experience! Getting to travel and meet new people while getting important life lessons.

I think that it would be interesting to experience the different culture while helping people, it could also teach you how much you have to be grateful for. However, I haven't ever really considered joining the Peace Corps just because the idea of traveling often doesn't appeal to me that much.

I did a project that included the Peace Corps and a woman talked to us about it in Model UN and it was pretty interesting, especially hearing it first hand. There are so many ways to help and places to go. It would be an amazing experience because you not only get to go to a cool, different place, experience the culture (and food) and meet new people, you're also helping someone out, which will help you grow as an individual and make you happier in life. I would love to be a part of the Peace Corps if the opportunity ever arose.

I absolutely love the idea of the Peace Corps, and I have for a long time. It seems like a great option to get an opportunity to help people, which is something that is so desperately needed in the 21st century. Through volunteering, it is truly possible to find out who you really are and what you believe in. I understand why there are prerequisites to be in the Peace Corps, but I do find that slightly discouraging because it does set a limit on who can actually volunteer. Regardless, I have such respect and admiration for the Peace Corps, and I would throughly enjoy partaking in it in the future.

the Peace Corps is actually a pretty     cool organization where volunteers
are given all different areas of
opportunity to directly help people
and communities everywhere!!

this first hand experience allows
volunteers to not only impact the
world by tackling challenges, but in
the process also help themselves
learn necessary life skills to succeed,
experience new cultures, inspire others, and all in all just improve as a
person. it's win win situation :)

The opportunity provided by Peace Corps to explore the world is something that I would be interested to participate in, given the chance. Not only would the volunteer be able to experience things outside their comfort zone and develop important life skills through service, but knowing that you may impact a life or the world is something truly remarkable. I look forward to learning more about the Peace Corps and exploring other options.

I have actually been interested in the Peace Corps since reading about it in National Geographic when I was 11. The combination of travel and helping people really appeals to me, and I can't wait to learn more about it.

Volunteering in the Peace Corps is an opportunity for people to learn real-world leadership and teamwork skills that tend to be either ignored or very poorly taught in school. Volunteers develop skills relevant to the region in which they're serving, get the experience of living in a foreign country, speaking a foreign language, and improving and (potentially) saving lives. I look forward to learning more about the Peace Corps. Peace out. Jenn Zhang

A guest speaker in Model UN talked to us about the Peace Corps and traveling abroad, and ever since then I’ve been curious about it. It is something I definitely would like to experience in my life after college. I think doing something like this can change not only your own life, but other peoples, drastically. Doing the Peace Corps is doing great for the world, and I look forward to researching and learning more about it.
