How old do you have to be to join the Peace Corps for teens?

Question

I know the peace corps has a teens program, and me and my friend are interested in joining..... but does anyone know how old you have to be to apply?

Answer 1

I wasn't aware that the PC had teen programs.  I think you need to check out www.peacecorps.gov and see if you can find any info yourself.

Answer 2

I think you saw a program where high-school students who are interested in being a Peace Corps Volunteer AFTER they graduate from college can write to Peace Corps Volunteers via paper or e-mail; or get a pen-pal who is a foreign high school student; or raise money for PCVs to put to good use.

The Peace Corps does not fly teens to foreign countries to spend a summer working.

Their minimum age is 18, but to get accepted at that age you have to have helped out on the family farm from age 6, and be a county (not chapter) leader in the 4-H or FFA.
