Peace Corps Representatives

DGHI invites undergraduate and MSc-GH students to learn more about volunteering with the Peace Corps. A light snack will be served while students have a chance to talk to Peace Corps representatives.

The Peace Corps is a volunteer program run by the United States government. The stated mission of the Peace Corps includes providing technical assistance, helping people outside the United States to understand American culture, and helping Americans to understand the cultures of other countries. The work is generally related to social and economic development. Each program participant, a Peace Corps Volunteer, is an American citizen, typically with a college degree, who works abroad for a period of two years after three months of training. Volunteers work with governments, schools, non-profit organizations, non-government organizations, and entrepreneurs in health, education, business, information technology, agriculture, and the environment
