The Peace Corps Prep program will prepare you for international development fieldwork and potential Peace Corps service. To accomplish this, you’ll build three core competencies through interrelated coursework, hands-on experience, and professional development support. The three competencies are the following:
- Training and experience in a specific work sector
- Intercultural competence
- Professional and leadership development
This guide explains each of these requirements in detail. Use this guide to map out your Peace Corps Prep course of study. Refer to this when completing your Peace Corps Prep application, where you’ll need to document how you plan to fulfill each requirement. This guide aligns point-by-point with each section of the application!
