Steves

International Service with Peace Corps
Sponsored by Roc Your Global Future!
2:30pm – 3:30pm | Register here!
Students will learn about meaningful opportunities to go abroad after
graduation with the Peace Corps. Through Peace Corps’ two-year program
life-defining experiences, volunteers get the chance to fully integrate into a
host country community, where they live and work on projects related to
education, health, economic development, environment, agriculture and youth
development. Volunteers sharpen their skills in the field and are challenged
with new opportunities, and go to work every day excited by the opportunity to
make change. This session will cover our available programs, benefits and
commitment, the requirements, and how to apply.
