Also considered in the application process is educational background. While they do encourage a college degree, they still accept non-graduates as well. Life experience, as well as participation in various volunteer activities, may qualify individual applicants for certain positions.
Once an applicant has been accepted, the question remains: What do volunteers do? According to Schattner, there is a wide range of positions for volunteers.
"They may find themselves helping out with anything from agriculture to working with information technology," Schattner said. "It really just depends on the individual's background experience."
Other positions listed on the Web site include business, community development, education, environment, and health, among others.
Students interested in meeting with a recruiter and learning more about the Peace Corps are encouraged to attend the information session tomorrow evening. Those who cannot attend the session can visit the Peace Corps Web site at www.peacecorps.gov.
