"Personally and professionally you will be challenged ..."
"Since becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer, I’ve realized how interconnected the world, its people and culture truly is. Personally and professionally you will be challenged in ways that you cannot foresee, skills will be sharpened and preparation for whatever you plan to do post-Peace Corps will present itself. It’s also a great way to explore another culture, travel, give back and be a representative of the diversity of America."
