Peace Corps reviews

Experiencing a new country and a diverse culture of people is incredible. The cross-cultural training provided by the Peace Corps prepared me for effective service. I have formed very meaningful relationships with Americans and host country nationals. I have autonomy in my work to focus on things I and my community feel are most important.

Also from the admin side of things, the inefficiency of bureaucracy and self-explanatory training is a real time suck.
