Event Details:

 

Make your application stand out from the rest! Attend this workshop to learn how to browse Volunteer openings, find the right program, and strengthen your Peace Corps application. You will have an opportunity to ask questions about service, learn steps you can take to improve your chances, gain valuable tips to guide you through the application process, and receive personalized help and feedback on your application components. 

This session will be particularly helpful for Spartans hoping to apply for the next Peace Corps deadline on January 1. 

Please bring the following and/or be prepared to work on them during the workshop!

  • Outline or draft of your motivation statement (if you have one—we will also have some brainstorming activities to get you started)
  • A copy of your resume (or a Peace Corps-specific one if you have it drafted already!)
  • Laptop, tablet, or good old-fashioned paper for brainstorming and drafting

We encourage you to come in person! If you are not on campus at that time, you can join us on Zoom.
