Peace Corps offers the kinds of skills and perspectives employers are looking for. The maturity, flexibility, resourcefulness, and technical expertise of returned Volunteers, not to mention their language skills, set them apart both personally and professionally. In addition, Peace Corps offers Americans the opportunity to make a difference in another part of the world while making a difference in themselves. Consider the benefits of Peace Corps service:
- Foreign language training
- All expenses paid during Peace Corps service
- Opportunities for graduate school scholarships and fellowships
- Partial cancellation of eligible Perkins loans and deferment of most federally guaranteed college loans
- Complete medical and dental care during Peace Corps service
- Easier access to Federal jobs through non-competitive eligibility
- $5,400 readjustment allowance after 27 months of service
