I don't really know if this applies but my son is considering both the Peace Corps & the Army. Even though we are a multi-generational Army family ( I myself am retired Army) I'm trying to encourage my son more towards the Peace Corps. Is there any advice anyone might be able to offer? Thank ya'll! Long days, pleasant nights!

Wow this was honestly the BEST educational video about peace corps I’ve seen so far. I loved how you clearly connected the training and new methodologies with your on the ground experience, I was able to imagine what it was like for you. Great work, I can see how you were a great teacher. Maybe I will look into peace corps a little more 😁

Well interested in community development. For me it is a life long mission. So 40-50 years. Interested in either doing peace corps or a master's degree in community development. Looking to work on the ground in many countries. I will have to be accepted into peace corps. But for me it's not a temporary job, but one that gives me foundational skills that I would use for the rest of my life. Looking at community organizational development in Kosovo.

As someone who taught myself Spanish, but later went on to Uni to get my BA in Spanish, and taking Arabic, ASL, and French classes, I have memorized songs in Arabic and French, but also in Spanish before I understood them. Speakers of both French and Arabic have said I sound very fluent when I am singing along with the song. What this does is allows the learner to feel more comfortable in the language by gaining some fluency or fluidity to sounding like a natural. I am a firm believer in making language part of your life, and there are still songs from the 90's that I sing along with that I still dont know what they are saying, and they are in English. The invention of things like Spotify, I am not looking at the lyrics and have realized what I thought they were saying is not actually what they are saying, in my own language, English. So learning to read and sound "natural" is a huge step needed to feel comfortable.

This video was so helpful and also really inspiring! I'm glad you had a good experience during your time with the Peace Corps, that you were able to have such a positive impact on your community, and that you gained so much from your community too! I've been debating about joining the Peace Corps for a few years now and am trying to decide whether to do it before or after my master's degree. Do you have any tips for deciding when is a good time in your life to apply? Thanks again for this video! ❤❤

This video was very informative and educational. The examples you used were very inspiring. When you talked about the partner training, it taught me something new about the experience, and it made sense. I see that it is important to remember that it is for the community first and foremost. Yes, volunteers will receive benefits, but the impact is primarily and always for them which will last a much longer time. I am personally thinking of doing the Peace Corps after finishing my degree. You are a very good speaker, and your video was succinct and kept me engaged. Thank you so much for this video!

Oh yes, a question. Is Kyrgyzstan as beautiful as I’ve seen in the photo’s??? And how are the people there?
@ashleynoelle
5 ай бұрын
I’d say the natural beauty of Kyrgyzstan is the best feature of visiting the country altogether. It truly is stunning and a hidden gem the West has yet to discover. The people are nice. The foreigners that visit are usually Russians or people from other post-Soviet countries, so the further you travel from tourist hubs like Bishkek or Issyk-Kul, the more skeptical they may be towards Westerners (and the less likely they’ll understand English), but they’re as kind as anyone else.

It depends on what your job is. For instance, if you’re a health volunteer, you may spend your day prepping and conducting handwashing clinics, helping with access to clean water, etc. The examples you mentioned seem more like daily chores and projects you can help out with. For example, in my host family, one of my responsibilities was to fill up a big barrel of water everyday after school for us to use throughout the rest of the evening. Also, painting/tiling at a school or somewhere is likely going to be a DIY project, so you can spend a day helping out with that.

How much money should someone take in 2024 and beyond for each year you are there? I don't see anyone talking about this much. Are you paying for your housing and food and other things? Thank you
@ashleynoelle
3 ай бұрын
You’ll pay your host family rent, which the Peace Corps will give you an allowance to cover each month. You’ll negotiate with your family whether you’ll eat meals with them and if so, how much you’ll pay monthly on top of rent for meals. You’ll also get a small stipend each month to cover basic essentials you may need. The amount varies by country, but it won’t be much, by any means. So how much extra you bring depends on what you want to do outside of work (i.e. travel within and outside the country, hang out in the capital or major cities, splurge on comforts like pay-by-use internet, etc)
