NON-MILITARY SERVICE WITH THE US GOVERNMENT
Peace Corps
The chance to make a real difference in other people's lives is the reason most Volunteers serve in the Peace Corps. Volunteers also have the chance to learn a new language, live in another culture, and develop career and leadership skills. The Peace Corps experience can enhance long-term career prospects whether you want to work for a corporation, a nonprofit organization, or a government agency. The Peace Corps can even open doors to graduate school. From practical benefits such as student loan deferment, career benefits like fluency in a foreign language, and the intangible benefits that come with making a difference in people's lives, there are a variety of rewards for the dedicated service of Volunteers. Rewards that last a lifetime. For more info www.peacecorps.gov
