I`m looking forward to your answer-
Kind Regards, Martin Maeder

I'm also 19 and interested in knowing more about what the Peace Core actually is. I've heard about it but no one has ever taken the time to tell me what the Peace Core dose and what are the guide lines, like say do you have to be a certain age, or have a degree?

I am 18 about to be 19 in January, I am very interested in actually joining the peace core. I want more information like what education you need or is there a specific age?
Take a look at Fifty Frequently Asked Questions from Prospective Volunteers for a good introduction to what the Peace Corps is and what it does.

Hi,
I was wondering if I could serve in the peace core for only one year, as opposed to 27 months, is this possible?
thanks!

Hi ~ Is it possible to serve in the Peace corps for one year, as opposed to 27 months? I did not see a response to Leah's e-mail regarding this and I had the same question.
Thanks,
April
Question: Does the Peace Corps allow you to serve for just one year?
Answer: This is not an official Peace Corps answer...
This is not an official Peace Corps answer but I have never heard of it happening.
The volunteer's first year is for becoming a part of the community and learning the language and customs.
The second year volunteers are more confident and capable. Many volunteers will tell you that the second year is when pcvs become most effective.
The Peace Corps would not want to support one year terms as this would greatly reduce the accomplishment of the first and second goals.
If you want to learn more about the Peace Corps, go to the Yahoo Peace Corps Community.
If you are serious about joining the Peace Corps and already know a lot about it, then if you still have detailed questions about how to join, go to Ask a Recruiter which is an excellent site.

hello, i was just wondering exactly how many people are in peace corps, all over the world??
There are about 7,600 volunteers presently serving in the Peace Corps.
About 170,000 volunteers have served in the Peace Corps since its founding in 1961.

Okay Two questions:
Can I be in the military and be involved with the Peace Corps?
And can I have a lifetime job in The Peace Corps?
A 15-month-plus Army en-listment option is now available nationwide for 59 occupational specialties, allowing recruits a choice of following military duty with service in a program such as AmeriCorps or the Peace Corps. Read about it here.
There is no lifetime employment with the Peace Corps - read about the Peace Corps' "Five Year Rule" here.
Contact the Peace Corps for more information.

Greatings,
I'm 16, and still in high school, I'm planing on taking my GED at the end of the next school year. I'm quite shure that his will have some effect on my chances on being able to join the Peace core, but I'm still going to a J.C collage and getting my AA. I have read into this organization quite a bit and am likeing it more and more everytime. I was hopeing if you could give me some information on geting a hold of a curent member so I can get an insiders view of how he or she got into the peace core, and what it's like now.
Thank you for your time, Sara
Hello, Does the Peace Corps provide shelter for volunteers, or do you pay a fee? Thank You.
Sincerely,
Robert.
Hello, Im 16 years of age and I'm a Junior in High School in Alabama. I am interested in joining the Peace Corps after I get out of College but would like to support it now.

i think that the peace core is amzing and my aunt is in it so morepower to everyone who helps.
Who are the main leaders of the peace corps? Do you know of anyone who took a stand in history against war? Who started anti-war groups? If you could please answer any of these questions it would be helpful. I'm doing a history day project on anti-war groups or peace groups and need to find out some of the major voices of these groups.
Thanks,
Brittanie

Just so everyone knows, it's peace CORPS not core. There is no such thing as the peace core. And to whoever wanted to know why Canadians can't join, the Peace Corps was started by the American federal government.
I'm only 16. I've been researching on the Peace Corps for while. Since I'm not 18 yet, is their anything I can do to get involved?

I am seventeen, and therefore too young for the Peace Corps. Even if I were eighteen, I do not have specialized skills the Peace Corps would want. Does anybody know what volunteering abroad I could do NOW that is not just a way for the "volunteer opportunity provider" to make money while making the ones paying feel better about themselves?
Thank you.

I am considering joining, but my parents aren't sure about it. I am 23 years old. However, I come from a traditional family. They don't like to allow their children to do anything that they aren't familiar with, and because the peace core is foreign to them they don't feel that it would be safe. I am wondering if they are right. How safe would it be for a minority to join and travel.
Hi - I would like an address to send toothbrushes and toothpaste for the children in NAMIBIA. SOUTH AFRICA.
