Thank you for your interest in the Peace Corps Campus Ambassador program!

Here are a few key points to understand before submitting this application:

-- This is an unpaid, two-semester experience, spanning from the Fall 2018 through the Spring 2019 semesters (or the quarters/blocks therein).

-- Serving as an Ambassador will not guarantee that you will be accepted as a Peace Corps Volunteer if you later choose to apply.

-- Being affiliated with Peace Corps in any way may adversely impact your ability to pursue an internship or career with a U.S. intelligence agency (FBI, CIA, etc). This policy is founded on the premise that it is crucial to the Peace Corps in carrying out its mission that there is a complete and total separation of Peace Corps from the intelligence activities of the United States government, both in reality and appearance.

-- This is a peer-to-peer outreach position, so -- among other activities -- you will need to give short presentations about Peace Corps to various student groups on campus.

-- In this position, you will work with a Peace Corps Recruiter and will have a variety of duties and deliverables to produce. But it will require a lot of initiative and self-drive, as you will rarely (if ever) see the Recruiter, and you probably won't have a Peace Corps office out of which to work.

-- The application deadline is TBD. We anticipate informing all applicants of their status by June.
