Choosing Between Peace Corps and Peace Corps Response
You are here June 2, 2021
I chose to serve in Peace Corps before applying to be a Peace Corps Response Volunteer, and I’m glad I did both.
When I first considered applying for Peace Corps service, I faced an unexpected choice. I prepared for serving overseas for 27 months, but I also started to read about the projects available through Peace Corps Response.
While traditional Peace Corps service focuses on long-term projects, Peace Corps Response specializes in short-term, high-impact assignments that last three to 12 months. Experienced professionals are paired with specific project assignments. Both options were tempting and I had trouble choosing which path to take.
