Peace Corps

The Peace Corps is a U.S. government program established in 1961 that sends American volunteers to work on development projects in countries around the world. Volunteers commit to serving for two years in areas such as education, health, agriculture, and environmental protection. Their goal is to help improve living conditions and promote cultural exchange, fostering relationships between the U.S. and other nations. The program emphasizes community-driven solutions and sustainable development, enabling volunteers to share their skills while learning from the communities they serve, all aimed at building global understanding and friendship.
