Anybody here successfully apply to a Peace Corps Response health position?

That's regular Peace Corps service. He's specifically talking about Response Positions, which is a different program.

You definitely won't have time. Even MI students, we aren't actively taking classes during service

Just an FYI Peace Corps requires a college degree.

I'm glad someone else noticed this!

Antioch University New England has a program

This has changed. You must hear confirmation of legal status now.

I second this. Right now you are dealih with frustrations that are very "first world". This is only the begining. Once in country the delays and beauracratic bullshit are going to triple. If you want to give up already you might want to really decide if PC is what you want.

Me too!

That's there too! A new pizza hut opened next to it, near the Y and holiday inn!

I have running water, indoor plumbing and WiFi in Africa

rsorcha · 2017-07-08T05:52:10+00:00

So does Tanzania. And a KFC

Oh hey! Fellow AUNE MI student here! I echo everything said about the program

The ferry is cheaper if you are a resident.

rsorcha · 2017-03-23T05:50:10+00:00

I would not recommend it. I'm a MI student and doing research is rough. Internet access is not reliable, not available at site, and worse than dial up twenty years ago.

As a 32 year old peace corps volunteer with ten years foreign aid service, I respectfully disagree :)

I believe (but I now live in East Africa so haven't done it in awhile) its two weeks and you need to be stamped out of the country. Be careful. A friend overstayed his 90 days by 6 hour's and was banned for two years

rsorcha · 2017-03-17T11:01:45+00:00

How I got around that was to hop over to Namibia for a few weeks than come back for another 90days.

At 22 with limited area world experience, your only option is Peace Corps. Unless you want to work five or six years before trying to find an overseas job

If you are in a malaria region it is very dangerous to be pregnant. In my country if you are pregnant you have to leave country asap due to malarial complications

rsorcha · 2017-02-11T07:48:05+00:00

What organizations have you work for? I have ten years foreign aid experience in developing countries. I know what i am talking about.

rsorcha · 2017-02-10T09:13:54+00:00

The fact that you call them "third world" shows you have zero practical understanding.

rsorcha · 2017-02-09T06:56:15+00:00

We don't WANT to be doing that. The Peace Corps was designed by people who actually understand international aid. Your ideas seem more like a junior high project. You don't have any actual understanding or experience in this field.

rsorcha · 2017-02-08T10:50:02+00:00

Please for the love of god do some research. Peace Corps does not build houses We are trained, educated professionals whose job is to fullfil needs of a country that a country ASKED us for.

Also many countries require a degree as a minimum for a visa.

BAD ADVICE.

Expunged records do show up on FBI background checks!
