What is pre-service orientation?
Before arriving in the Dominican Republic, all Trainees will participate in a three-day pre-departure orientation, commonly called the staging event. The staging event welcomes and orients trainees to the general demands of being a safe and effective Peace Corps Volunteer. At staging, you will meet your fellow trainees and begin to identify personal and cultural adjustments that you can make to promote your successful service. To learn more, see the “Pre-Departure Information” section in your Welcome Book.
