MACOMB - The Peace Corps Fellows program at Western Illinois University has been awarded a three-year, $239,000 grant from AmeriCorps to improve the internships that Fellows serve in rural communities.
The Peace Corps Fellows program in community development is a unit of the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs at Western. The program gives returned Peace Corps volunteers an opportunity to earn master's degrees in geography, political science, recreation, park and tourism administration, business administration, community health and health services management, or economics.
Fellows serve an 11-month paid internship in a rural community, group of communities or organization assisting local leaders with development projects.
