When: Tuesday, March 18th 2025, 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm EDT
Location: 2660 28th Street Southeast, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49512, United States

The Peace Corps brings together skilled, committed Volunteers with welcoming host communities for service opportunities in more than 60 countries. Volunteers live and work side by side with community members on locally prioritized projects, building relationships, exchanging cultures and knowledge, and helping transform lives for generations. Stop by Chapbook Cafe at Schuler Books for an in-person chat with a local recruiter who can answer your questions about what it's like to live, learn, and work with a community overseas. Plus, you will gain tips to guide you through the application process. The Peace Corps provides each Volunteer with housing and a living stipend that enables them to live and work alongside the people in their community of service. Unlike other international volunteer programs, there is no charge to participate in the Peace Corps. There is no application fee, and reimbursement of medical services that are required as part of the medical clearance process has no limit. Upon completion of two years of service, the Peace Corps provides each Volunteer with more than $10,000 (pre-tax) to help with the transition to life back home. This money is yours to use as you wish.
