Unofficial Volunteer Handbook

From Peace Corps Wiki

Quick Introduction

Peace Corps may be "the toughest job you'll ever love" but you don't have to learn that the hard way. The Unofficial Peace Corps Volunteer Handbook is the handbook we wish someone would have given us: a collection of lessons learned from Volunteers all around the world created to act as a companion on your adventure of applying to and serving in the Peace Corps. We hope you find what we’ve shared helpful – if not, don't worry – everyone's Peace Corps service is unique and we just hope you have an incredible experience. If at any time you have questions unanswered by this guide please contact Peace Corps directly or if you think we can help, please contact us on Facebook anytime.
