2008 Biennial Volunteer Survey
From Peace Corps Wiki
These reports summarizes the responses of all Volunteers who completed the 2008 Biennial Volunteer Survey (BVS) fielded from May through August 2008. You may compare post and regional results to these global results. The 2008 BVS results provide a picture of the activities, experiences and views of Peace Corps Volunteers in 2008. They show areas where Volunteers’ needs are met as well as identify areas where improvements may be needed. Additionally, in this year’s survey, new questions were included on ways in which Volunteers are meeting Peace Corps’ Goal 2 and Goal 3 Objectives.
Questions were asked concerning:
- Your Peace Corps Assignment
- Training for Your Peace Corps Assignment
- Your Life in the Peace Corps
- Volunteer Assignment Goals and Impact
- Peace Corps Support
- Your Safety and Security
- Volunteers working in HIV/AIDS
- Your Overall Assessment of Your Peace Corps Experience
