The Peace Corps is an international service network of Volunteers, community members, host country partners and staff who are driven by the agency’s mission of world peace and friendship. The Peace Corps has been present in Cameroon since 1962. During these 63 years of service, nearly 4,000 Volunteers have served across all 10 regions of the country.

Volunteers are posted in rural areas, working alongside communities in locally prioritized projects in three main areas: agriculture, community health, and education. Through collaboration, humility, and service, members of the Peace Corps network develop transferable skills that foster change and sustainable development.
In March 2020, Peace Corps evacuated all Volunteers worldwide due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In the absence of Volunteers Peace Corps Cameroon offices remained open, maintaining relationships with communities and institutional partners. In October 2022, Volunteers returned to service in Cameroon and since then has received two additional cohorts of Volunteers, for a total of about 30 Volunteers currently in service.

Peace Corps Cameroon offers added-benefit Volunteer opportunities with departure dates through 2027. These positions feature 15-month rather than 27-month terms of service. See details on this page.
Additionally, Peace Corps Cameroon runs a Response Volunteer program and a Virtual Service Pilot.
Peace Corps Response sends experienced professionals to undertake short-term, high-impact service assignments in communities around the world. Peace Corps Response Volunteers are expected to possess the technical skills needed to fulfill their assigned role with minimal training.
The Virtual Service Pilot connects qualified U.S. citizens with host country counterparts to meet partner requests in new ways – from supplementing on-the-ground Volunteer efforts to reaching regions where Volunteers cannot go. Participants collaborate virtually with counterparts to complete project tasks, donating 5-15 hours per week for 3-6 months.
