Peace Corps Employer Reviews

Everyday was different, never routine. I learned project management, community development, among many other lessons. My co-workers included fellow villagers, town hall officials, volunteers, and government officials. The hardest part of the job was being sick, and the best part of the job was making friendships.

Great organisation to work for, learnt alot from this company,and help alot of people in the community

The experience is what you make it! Being a Volunteer in Morocco was amazing and couldn't of asked for more from my Peace Corps experience.

There was a lot of down time, but I really loved the community to which I was assigned. I met some wonderful people, and I was able to accomplish a few major projects. Peace Corps Costa Rica staff was fantastic, and I made some great friends among the other volunteers. I put a lot of emphasis on establishing personal relationships with Costa Ricans – more... (probably more so than specific projects), but I don't regret it. – less

Peace Corps uproots you and puts you in another country that needs your expertise. You learn their language, values, and culture and they learn yours. Overall, changing you from the inside out to become a better person and a better member of society.

It's impossible to write about your daily life because everyone's is drastically different. I had electricity – more... and water, a lot of other locations do not. – less

The commercials call it the toughest job you'll ever love. This is a place to grow. Go in without expectations.

The Peace Corps is a great place to work because it gives you the opportunity to interact with people from all walks of life and learn so much about the world. The Peace Corps has an exciting and challenging workplace and is a constantly changing environment. It is one of the best jobs I've had.

Peace Corps is a very unique work and living experience unlike any other. It is up to the individual to determine what kind of service they will have and how deep they will immerse themselves in the culture and their work. What's great about Peace Corps as a company (or govt agency) is that they will give you all the tools, training and support you – more... will need for you to succeed in your assigned community. It's like being your own business owner with a big support group behind you. You'll also witness first-hand how international aid and development works. If you are curious to find out how you perform in extreme conditions in a very foreign land, then this is it. It's unlike any job in the world. Afterward, I have found many employers to highly value my experience. It also really helped me in working abroad in other countries. – less

During my internship at Peace Corps in Burkina Faso. I was able to assist with events for current and future volunteers. I got to join my superiors in trips to villages where volunteers are placed to see how they work. Thanks to the internship I was able to learn exactly what the peace corps does in third world countries and made me want to later work – more... in the UN – less

Working for Peace Corps was a great learning experience, which had alot of challenges and demanded extended hours.What I found most difficult was working till 12am and having to report for work at 7am the follwing day but it taught me alot as an individual.

Peace Corps unterliegt der Amerikanischen Regierung; die notwendige Buerokratie einer so grossen Organisation ist oft hinderlich wenn es um Basis-Entwicklungshilfe geht.
