"The Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Scholarship enabled me to return to graduate school after two years in the Peace Corps. The scholarship has made it financially possible for me to advance my professional skill set in the international development world. In a 'for-profit' world, scholarships such as the one offered make it possible for us to work in the non-profit world to advance international development and protect basic human rights."

PCOL's Candidate for Peace Corps Director
Honduras RPCV Jon Carson, 33, presided over thousands of workers as national field director for the Obama campaign and said the biggest challenge -- and surprise -- was the volume of volunteer help, including more than 15,000 "super volunteers," who were a big part of what made Obama's campaign so successful. PCOL endorses Jon Carson as the man who can revitalize the Peace Corps, bring it into the internet age, and meet Obama's goal of doubling the size of the Peace Corps by 2011.
