Employer Information: The Peace Corps, a U.S. federal agency, brings together skilled, committed Volunteers with welcoming host communities for 27-month service opportunities in more than 60 countries. Volunteers live and work side by side with community members on locally prioritized projects, building relationships, exchanging cultures and knowledge, and helping transform lives for generations. The Peace Corps provides each Volunteer with transportation, housing, and a living stipend, paid vacation days, medical and dental care, funds to help transition back home, student loan benefits, and career and graduate school benefits.

Volunteers work in one of six sectors including Community Economic Development (CED), a great fit for business majors. CED Volunteers work together with development banks, nongovernmental organizations, and municipalities to encourage economic opportunities in communities. They frequently teach in classroom settings and work with entrepreneurs and business owners to develop and market their products. Some Volunteers also teach foundational computer skills and support communities in taking advantage of technologies that connect them to the global marketplace.
