On Sunday, March 15th, 2020, over 7,300 Peace Corps volunteers in over 60 countries were told they were being evacuated. In Peace Corps Panama, my evacuation ended up taking over 100 hours from when I left my community to when I arrived safely at home. I want to thank all the Peace Corps staff, especially Peace Corps Panama for giving us so much support and working around the clock to get us ho...

    17:44 please post about the legal requirements to pass background I literally can’t find this information ANYWHERE ONLINE (besides how almost every page states and re-states I CANNOT SERVE if I’m FORMER CIA😂) got it Peace Corps! I’m not former CIA but what about a DUI misdemeanor or wet reckless over 15 years ago ? Does it matter that it’s expunged ? What about other misdemeanor crimes? Most job applications either state it on the job app, don’t ask, or don’t care but being fingerprinted means at least to some degree, it is going to matter.if you have insight or can get insight on this it will be crucial to applications. Thank you so much for all the info so far 😊

    Hello, My name is Harry Dwinell and I am an eRPCV who served in The Gambia from 2017 to 2020. I am currently a documentary film student at The New School in NYC and am in the process of making a documentary about Peace Corps that touches on potential ways the organization could reform through conversations with other RPCVs across generations. While it is not the focus of the documentary, there will be a section that touches on the evacuation. That said, while trying to find additional videos for this section I found this video and I am curious if you would be willing to share any videos you may have of the evacuation itself? Of course you would be credited. If you have any questions about the documentary, me, or my intentions please don't hesitate to ask! Thank you!

    This was one of the most wholesome videos ever. Ive been doing research about the PC all night and watching videos. Once my car payment is gone, I may sell it and just jump the gun tbh... I'm thinking an African country as Ive been to 3 of them and Ive never been happier in my life than when i was there. I dunno... Im 33 though. :( Life has been a struggle since my divorce. It may be just what I need.

      I definitely have a new perspective of the Peace Corps after having been part of the organization for over a year. I would say that if you do apply, please make sure that you are aware of what the Peace Corps is and does and who actually benefits from it. I would recommend doing lots of research on both the Peace Corps and the country you're applying to before you decide to apply, so you know exactly what you'll be doing and what role, as a U.S. American, you'll be playing in the lives of the people you are serving.
