How does the Peace Corps decide where to establish Volunteer programs?
A request for Peace Corps service is normally initiated by the government of the country that would like Volunteers to serve. This is normally done directly from the government to the Peace Corps, usually through the office of the Peace Corps director. The countries also request the type of assistance they need, which could be teaching English, environmental awareness, or small business advising. In the last few years, Peace Corps has established new programs in South Africa, Jordan, Mozambique, Bangladesh, and Georgia.
