The Peace Corps is actively recruiting Denison students for opportunities to work and live abroad after graduation. We have openings in more than 60 countries around the world. Our programs include positions supporting public health, environmental sustainability, and food security, as well as others focused on economic development, English education, and youth initiatives.
Volunteers immerse themselves in the cultures where they live, learning the local languages and building lifelong connections. They receiving a living wage, housing, and full medical+dental coverage during service, as well as a number of benefits afterwards including a $10k readjustment payment, exclusive fellowships for grad school that cover up to 100% of tuition at a variety of universities, and priority access to getting hired for federal jobs.

He served as a volunteer in the health sector in El Salvador from 2010-12 and stayed in the country for an additional year afterwards, training and advising new volunteers. Upon returning to the United States, he completed a master’s degree in public administration as a Coverdell Fellow as the University of Colorado Denver.
