The application process and waiting time 40 years ago was the same as you described for your application. Key to success is demonstrating a willingness to stick it out for 2 years. Peace Corps is always looking for math and science majors and folks with business skills. Don’t be afraid to apply even if you are out of college for a number of years. My group was mostly in their late 20s to late 30s. Peace Corps changed my outlook on life and set in the direction of a global career. I still keep up with my host family…yes, from 45 years ago. The toughest job I ever loved!

I have looked at a lot of information about the Peace Corps online but hearing personal stories about how it actually works helps me so much and just gives me that reassurance that I want to continue on that path thank you!

I want to sincerely thank you for sharing your experience! Your thorough break down in the four videos you have here really helped me decide about joining the Peace Corps.

Hey Joey, thanks for sharing your Peace Corps experience. Actually, I'm originally from Cambodia myself.

How did you like serving in Cambodia?

Like you, I served (PC) in Africa 30+years ago. Now that I'm retired and all kids are grown, I'm looking forward to serving again soon. Got my backpack ready.😁👍🙏

I got chills when you talked about your dream! That's so amazing, thank you for your service and for sharing about it. I'm applying for Eswatini to be a Youth Development Volunteer and I'm super excited!

I'm currently an FYCS major at UF and considering Peace Corps, this really helps. I loved seeing you were a Gator! This video was super encouraging and its getting me closer to the thought

I’m 18, just graduated and i think i’m gonna do this !! I don’t have much skills though, will this be a big problem, or do you get training and such?

[jolenemurray]

It's being over 15 years since I came back from my Peace Corps service (RPCV Mauritania 2006-2008) and I still think about my time there very fondly.

I thought about joining the peace corps, but I decided to join the Marine Corps instead. Best decision I ever made.
