As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you'll travel overseas and make real differences in the lives of real people. Volunteers work in middle or secondary schools teaching English throughout the world.
Some Volunteers teach science and math.
In addition to classroom teaching, Volunteers develop other projects related to their schools or communities. Some Volunteers have spent time tutoring before they head overseas. Volunteer's experience begins in an education setting, later moving to a workplace setting that could include assisting private businesses or public organizations, local and regional governments, nonprofit organizations, Junior Achievement programs, cooperatives, agribusinesses, women's and youth groups, or universities and secondary schools. Environment Volunteers Environmental Volunteers work on a wide variety of activities, including teaching environmental awareness in elementary and secondary schools, working on environmental education with youth groups or community organizations, and planting trees within a community.
