Peace Corps – “A good organization, but with a lot of government inefficiency.”

Pros

The pride you feel and the support you recieve (as a Peace Corps Volunteer). The opportunity to do independent projects. The language and technical training are helpful and a good way to get new skills.

Cons

Budget cuts. Too much interference by Washington staff. Goals and objectives of each countries program are articulated at the local level but are sometimes not relevent. The application process lets in those who are not qualified or mature enough for service.

Advice to Senior Management

Give equal support to all volunteers. Hold all volunteers accountable for producing results in the field.
