Signing up for a two-year service with the Peace Corps is a big commitment. Every Volunteer will experience this time in a manner unique to that of anyone else’s experience. Every country, city, and village will have its own set of cultural standards, nuances, and living situations. We know it’s not easy to envision the specifics of your Peace Corps service. So Peace Corps Senegal’s Media Office has produced a video to provide greater insight into the adventure that awaits you all!
