Due to the short term nature of assignments, Peace Corps Response Volunteers are not eligible for non-competitive status. However, if you serve as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer during the one year non-competitive eligibility period following your two year Peace Corps service, Peace Corps Response can write a recommendation to an employing agency requesting that the eligibility period be extended beyond the one year for the period of the Peace Corps Response assignment.
