No. Peace Corps Response can send Volunteers to a country that does not have a Peace Corps program as long as the safety and security of the Volunteers is reasonably assured and medical care is available. We have placed Peace Corps Response Volunteers in Bosnia , a country that has not had a Peace Corps presence before, as well as in Venezuela , Czech Republic , and Sri Lanka – all countries in which Peace Corps had programs in the past.
