Applying for the Peace Corps is a multi-step process that typically takes several months to complete. You can apply online at the Peace Corps website. The application includes a general application, a personal statement, and several essays. You will also need to submit letters of recommendation and transcripts.
Once you have submitted your application, you will be invited to an interview. The interview is an opportunity for you to learn more about the Peace Corps and for the Peace Corps to learn more about you. If you are selected for service, you will be required to complete a training program before you are deployed to your country of service.
