Third Goal of Peace Corps
First Goal
Help the countries interested in meeting their need for trained people.
Volunteers exchange skills and knowledge with community members to help create sustainable change through work in six sectors—Agriculture, Community Economic Development, Education, Environment, Health, and Youth in Development.
Second Goal
Help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.
Through their service, Volunteers share America and its values and also learn about local cultures, opportunities, resources, and people in their host countries.
Third Goal
Help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.
Volunteers immerse themselves in local cultures and share their experiences when they return home with family, friends, and the public. This helps promote cultural understanding, volunteerism, and public service.
