The safety and health of every Volunteer is the Peace Corps’ highest priority. The Peace Corps has developed an extensive training and support program to ensure my well-being. First, I am serving in a country that needs and wants Peace Corps assistance. The Peace Corps conducts an extensive assessment of the security circumstances in every country before a program is established. Second, the Peace Corps does everything possible to ensure that I am assigned to an area where my safety needs can be reasonably met. In addition, I am trained regularly on safety and health issues relevant to Guyana. In addition to these procedures, the Peace Corps expects me to enhance my personal health and safety by exercising mature, appropriate behavior and sound judgment.
