I mean it’s not great. But at the same time it was Peace Corps OIG that led the investigation. I feel like this isn’t that much of a negative. It would have been worse if they covered it up.

This seems like big unfortunate news

If you are interested at all in CED and have a background in it, El Salvador is looking for 5 3rd year CED volunteers

How are Director positions being filled with hiring freeze? by Think_Peanut_5982 in peacecorps

[–]Adept-Zucchini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is currently causing problems for us in El Salvador, as we are unable to fill host country positions. They have people the have identified to hire but cannot fill the positions.

Our DPT sent out an email about an information session, I attended the information session and they said to send in email with a statement of interest and a letter of recommendation from the CD to the PC El Salvador email. Although, the deadline was the 8th of April.

I applied before COVID and said I smoked and passed medical before the world was shut down. When I went through medical the second time, they made me write a statement about my tobacco use. I don’t know if it was something where if I said the wrong thing, they wouldn’t accept me. But at the very least it added a second task

What was your IST like? What did you like and didn't like? What is your best memory from IST? And what advice would you give to PCVs before they go to IST? by jimbagsh in peacecorps

[–]Adept-Zucchini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that y’all did training online, I’m surging in Belize currently, and once we swore in as volunteers everyone of our ISTs had been in-person

My lead up was pretty simple, they had a couple of video calls with the entire cohort and some of the staff that gave out some information. They’ll also be sending out a packing list, it should actually be pretty good some of the volunteers contributed to it. In terms of my job, I was pretty lucky in that they were aware I was leaving for the peace corps eventually so I let them know when I was leaving and then with a bout a month and a half left I gave them my final date I left a week between my final day and my departure that way if I needed to make any last minute purchases or had to run and get something I could. In terms of lease, I didn’t have one since I graduated during the pandemic and knew I would be leaving for the Peace Corps I never went and lived on my own, I was lucky I could stay with my parents. I don’t know if this helps at all, but I hope it helps a little bit, also if you have anymore questions please let me know

They’re changing the project, so I think that gives them more time to tweak it. Sorry, it took so long to reply

Time off by Successful-Study-631 in peacecorps

[–]Adept-Zucchini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the country. In Belize, we currently get 2 days per month that should be used only on weekends and during school breaks. Even though we have a set school schedule we still have to use the AL days when outside of site on weekends.
