About Peace Corps El Salvador
The Peace Corps traces its roots and mission to 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that inspiration grew an agency of the federal government devoted to world peace and friendship. Since that time, more than 240,000 Ame
ricans of all ages have responded to Kennedy’s call to serve and have helped communities in 161 countries. Today's Peace Corps is more vital than ever, working in emerging and essential areas such as information technology and business development. Peace Corps Volunteers continue to support countless individuals who want to build a better life for themselves, their children, and their communities. In September 2023, the Peace Corps announced the re-establishment of operations in El Salvador. Under the new agreement, Peace Corps is committed to working with the government of El Salvador to develop projects that support Community Economic Development and Youth initiatives.
