After two years of pandemic turpor, Fall 2022 has been reinvigorating for Peace Corps on campus.  With programs are now active in over two dozen countries with fifty-some host countries issuing invitations,this is an exciting time for people to learn how Peace Corps volunteers partner with local communities in Education, Agriculture, Health, Community Economic Development and other areas. 

Interested seniors are applying for positions with October 1st or January 1st deadlines, while younger students continue to explore just what the Peace Corps experience is all about.  This is where your personal Peace Corps experience is vital.  Whether it be through a career fair, a class or club presentation, or a one-on-one conversation, your own Peace Corps journey can inspire the next generation of applicants.

Most recruiting events are conducted by the Peace Corps Recruiter at The Ohio State University.

These are opportunities to find out more about Peace Corps and discover how you might fit into a Peace Corps program. In general, you do not need to be a student at these colleges and universities to go to an event.

Often CORVA members and others who have served in the Peace Corps will be on hand to talk about their experiences and to answer questions.

 CORVA members, if you'd like to help Laura Joseph with recruiting at an event, contact her at 614/292-3008 or email her at peacecorps@osu.edu

 Currently, she's in need of people to help her with career fairs and guest speaking at other events.

In addition to attending a recruiting event, find out more about Peace Corps by contacting Laura Joseph, the Peace Corps recruiter at Ohio State
