Peace Corps Volunteers of all ages are called to serve overseas. 

During Older Americans Month, the Peace Corps recognizes the work of its older Volunteers and the amazing contributions they all provide to communities around the world.

"The women in my community reacted so favorably to me; my age is definitely a benefit to working in Zambia — or most traditional societies where age is equivalent to wisdom." - Peace Corps Zambia Volunteer Mary Ellen Rivero
