Joining the Peace Corps can seem like a daunting task. However, if you’ve
ever been interested or have entertained the thought of it, this book is the
all-inclusive guide you need.
When you turn 18, you can join the more than 220,000 Americans who

feel like you’re in a rut or want to get out there and do something that you

served in the Peace Corps; they tell their stories and give practical advice
about joining.
You will learn how to apply, the specific qualifications to join, and what
you can do to boost your chances of submitting a winning application.
We also cover everything that comes after the application process, such
as the countries served, the languages spoken, and the vital medical and
safety information that you will need to remain safe during your travels,
all explained simply.
After reading this book, the young adult audience will feel prepared and
will know exactly what to expect. This book even covers how to adjust to
coming back home.
