Event Navigation
President Kennedy launched the Peace Corps in March of 1961 to challenge young Americans to contribute two years of their lives in service to people in developing countries. Fifty years later, The Peace Corps continues with the same mission, but with new challenges. Five generations of Peace Corps Volunteers reflect on how the experience changed their lives and made a difference in the countries where they served.
