WASHINGTON, D.C., December 12, 2007 - Peace Corps is encouraging experienced educators and teachers to become Peace Corps education Volunteers.
As part of its on-going effort to bring more skilled and knowledgeable Volunteers to the field, the Peace Corps is reaching out to mid-career and retiring professionals who are interested in new and challenging teaching opportunities and considering alternatives to traditional retirement. Currently there is a high demand for skilled teachers with classroom and teacher training experience, particularly in Peace Corps programs in Central and South America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia.
