So You Want to... Join the U.S. Peace Corps

Joining the Peace Corps can seem like a daunting task. However, if you’ve

ever been interested or have entertained the thought of it, this book is the

all-inclusive guide you need.

When you turn 18, you can join the more than 220,000 Americans who

have served in 63 countries. This experience is truly life changing; if you

feel like you’re in a rut or want to get out there and do something that you

might not be able to do in the future, joining the Peace Corps might be the

answer. This book contains many interviews with young people who have

served in the Peace Corps; they tell their stories and give practical advice

about joining.

You will learn how to apply, the specific qualifications to join, and what

you can do to boost your chances of submitting a winning application.

We also cover everything that comes after the application process, such

as the countries served, the languages spoken, and the vital medical and

safety information that you will need to remain safe during your travels,

all explained simply.

After reading this book, the young adult audience will feel prepared and

will know exactly what to expect. This book even covers how to adjust to

coming back home.
