Peace Corps has a remarkable history in Liberia. More than 3,800 Volunteers served in Liberia between 1962 and 1990. During those years, Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) served in every facet of Liberia’s development efforts with an emphasis on education, agriculture, rural development, and health education. Although the program closed in 1994 due to civil war, the Peace Corps is still fondly remembered and well loved in Liberia; most people over the age of 30 had a Peace Corps teacher at some point during their education.
The Peace Corps re-entered Liberia with a team of 12 Peace Corps Response Volunteers (PCRVs) in October 2008. Peace Corps Response Volunteers have already served as Peace Corps Volunteers and came to Liberia already in possession of the appropriate technical and cross-cultural skills needed to make an immediate impact.
In 2010, Peace Corps/Liberia will begin transitioning to a full Peace Corps program, with the first group of Peace Corps Volunteers arriving in June 2010. These PCVs will be in the secondary education project, working as English, science, and math teachers. Peace Corps/Liberia will continue to utilize both PCVs and PCRVs as part of a complementary and solid response to the development needs of the country.
