Mission Statement:

The Peace Corps' mission has three simple goals:
Helping the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women.
Helping promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.
Helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

The world has changed since 1961, and the Peace Corps has changed with it. With 7,671 Volunteers in 70 posts serving 75 countries, today's Peace Corps is more relevant than ever.

While Volunteers continue to do important work like bringing clean water to communities and teaching children, today's Volunteers also work in areas like HIV/AIDS awareness, information technology, and business development.

The Peace Corps will continue to address global needs as they arise. Thousands of Volunteers, for instance, now work on HIV/AIDS-related activities. As access to information technology has grown in the developing world, the Peace Corps has increased its Volunteer efforts in this field.

Events:

As Peace Corps recruiter for Northern Arizona, I have office hours (contact me for most updated hours) and several General Information Meetings per year. I also attend many career fairs, international celebrations and set up booths on campus every month.
