Project Description
A Peace Corps Response Volunteer (PCRV) with advanced proficiency in written and spoken Spanish and a Bachelor of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Computer Science, Computer Programming, or similar degree is needed to support the strengthening of community systems that enable the adoption of health behaviors through information and communication technology. The PCRV will learn about key health behaviors and identify local health initiatives that currently use distance education models and resources. The PCRV will identify gaps in distance education models and develop new resources based on this analysis. Additionally the PCRV will conduct training to local work partners on the development and use of distance education modules created and support local work teams to test and use resources created.
Please note that departure dates and other details of this project could change because of the uncertainties as Peace Corps and local partners resume Volunteer operations. Candidates selected for this position will be arriving in Guatemala together as a group, so while the departure dates for the whole group could change, dates cannot be changed for individual candidates.
