Most Peace Corps Volunteers serve in one community for two years. I am now twenty months into my service in Liberia as an Education Volunteer. . . and living at my third site.

Last year over 8200 students and 800 teachers in Liberia learned phonics from the Let’s Read! program.

It is no surprise that Gender Equity is a global issue.

During Peace Corps’ history, the Boston metropolitan area has consistently ranked as one of the top Volunteer-producing areas in the nation.

Joni says her house in Liberia is much more than a place to eat and sleep. It's home.

Peace Corps Volunteers come to service with a wide variety of skills, perspectives and life experiences.

Time and time again I heard similar frustrations at my site: members in the community struggled to feed their children and to find the money for their children’s school fees.  

For many years I knew that the Peace Corps would be a wonderful experience for me. 

Teaching students to question the world around them inspires critical thinking outside of the classroom and creates space for empowerment. 

Serving in Liberia is fulfilling my childhood goal of giving back to my homeland of Africa.
