Added-benefit assignments

The Peace Corps wants to make it easier for future Volunteers to accept our bold invitation to serve. And, for answering the call, certain high-need positions with departure dates through 2027 will be temporarily eligible for added benefits.

Are there other high-need positions available?

Yes! There are other projects at Peace Corps posts around the world that need more applicants. Though these positions are not eligible for our temporary additional benefits, Volunteers will still receive our standard benefits during service.
