Greetings! I'm the UW campus Peace Corps recruiter, and I'm reaching out to let folks know that the next Peace Corps deadline is January 1, 2020, for positions departing summer 2020.
What is Peace Corps?
The Peace Corps is a service opportunity for motivated changemakers to immerse themselves in a community abroad, working side by side with local leaders to tackle the most pressing challenges of our generation. Anyone who is a United States citizen and who is at least 18 years of age is eligible to serve in the Peace Corps. We do evaluate applicants based on their relevant experience and qualifications for the sector(s) for which they apply, and so applicants with more experience and qualifications are more likely to receive an invitation to serve. Applicants can qualify for most of our assignments with either a 4-year degree in any subject or at least 5 years of professional experience in a relevant field.
The next deadline for Peace Corps applications closes January 1st (for positions departing Summer 2020).
Please share the attached flyer with any students who might be interested, and let them know they can contact me for more information: pcorps@uw.edu
Thanks!
