Secretaría de Planeación y Participación Ciudadana in Mexico has requested the support of a Peace Corps Response Volunteer (PCRV) to serve as an Online training and digital developer for civic engagement. The recently established Secretariat of Planning and Citizen Participation of the municipality of Querétaro aims to encourage citizen participation through courses, workshops, and campaigns that promote social and civic values, as well as topics that contribute to better civic engagement.
The PCRV will collaborate with the Secretariate's staff in the design, development and implementation of online training programs geared to the citizens of the municipality
Candidates selected for this position will be arriving in Mexico together as a group. Dates cannot be changed for individual candidates. Please note the projected departure date could change due to external factors.
Candidates who are either dual citizens of Mexico and the U.S., or who were born in Mexico and became U.S. citizens after 1998, are not eligible to serve with Peace Corps Mexico. Volunteer safety is of paramount importance, and the protections of U.S. citizenship promote Volunteer safety. Under Mexican law, anyone born in Mexico who became a U.S. citizen after 1998, or anyone holding dual U.S. and Mexican citizenship, is considered a citizen of Mexico and not of the United States. If such an individual were to face a legal, safety, or other emergency situations in Mexico, the Peace Corps' ability to intervene would be limited. If you fit either of these categories, we encourage you to look for other opportunities with Peace Corps. Please note, the Peace Corps welcomes and encourages individuals with Mexican heritage but who do not hold citizenship with Mexico to apply.
