Peace Corps Help??

Question

I would like to apply to join the Peace Corps. What is required of an individual applying? I'm 15 now, is there anything specific I should do before I apply? What is it like when you're in the Peace Corps? Please help me!

Answer 1

I wrote more than I want to paste here about it and devoted a section of my web site to it. It starts at

"What it was like" takes a while.

If you aim for secondary education you'll have a better chance, but you might be able to be a primary school advisor. Most host countries use their own citizens for primary school teaching.

Answer 2

Right now, it looks like the best thing you can do is research, and learn all you can.

According to their website, you have to be 18 & a U.S. Citizen. There are opportunities for those without college, but some of their activities do require a degree.
