Pause of Cohort to Tanzania
The Peace Corps has made the decision to pause its next cohort to Tanzania due to depart in August.
The Peace Corps will work with the impacted individuals to identify another country program that best aligns with their unique skills and preferences. No other volunteer cohorts are impacted by this decision. The Peace Corps remains committed to supporting volunteers’ health, safety, and security as they continue their service in Tanzania and around the world.
New volunteer positions have recently been posted to peacecorps.gov, and the Peace Corps encourages those interested in serving with the agency to apply.
About the Peace Corps: The Peace Corps sends passionate and talented American volunteers abroad to collaborate with community members on projects that advance both American and local priorities.

The Peace Corps equips volunteers with valuable leadership, management and language skills that make them assets to the U.S. workforce and strengthen America’s economic competitiveness at home and abroad. Since 1961, more than 240,000 Americans have served in 144 countries worldwide. For more information, visit peacecorps.gov and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X.
