What is Peace Corps?
Peace Corps was created in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy to promote world peace and friendship by providing American Volunteers who contribute to the social, economic and human development of the host countries in which they serve. Since then, more than 165,000 Americans have served in the Peace Corps in 135 countries. For further information, visit the official Peace Corps website.
