The combination of travel and helping people really appeals to me, and I can't wait to learn more 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.

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.

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.

     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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ]]> 2017-11-20 04:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pmoosbrugger/pegnlsj3chrt/wish/208578724 https://padlet.com/pmoosbrugger/pegnlsj3chrt/wish/208583004 The Peace Corps is an organization that is invested in aiding in the development of other countries.

Also the educational opportunities are amazing!
