The first group of 25 Peace Corps Kosovo volunteers arrived in June of 2014 and are teaching English at local secondary schools. Kosovo is the 139th country that the Peace Corps has worked in.
During the first three months of service, each volunteer will live with a host family in Kosovo to become fully immersed in the Albanian language and Kosovar culture. After acquiring the skills necessary to survive on our own, we will be sworn into service and assigned to a community in Kosovo. We will then live and work at a secondary school in that community for two years.
More than 215,000 Americans have served as Peace Corps volunteers since President John F. Kennedy established the agency in 1961. Through their service volunteers start community development projects while building mutual cultural understanding. There are currently 6,800 Peace Corps volunteers serving in 65 countries.
Peace Corps service lasts for at least 27-months. Volunteers work in the sectors of education, health, business, agriculture, and youth development. Peace Corps volunteers must be U.S. citizens, at least 18-years old, and in good health. Benefits include a modest living stipend, medical care, graduate school scholarships, student loan deferment, and "readjustment allowance" of $7,425.
