Peace Corps Response
The Peace Corps formed a similar program named the Crisis Corps a few years later. This morphed into what is today called the Peace Corps Response program. This makes sense as the Peace Corps Response program focuses more on short term (5-12 month) development type assignments.
When you consider that there are about 7,000 Volunteers serving in the Peace Corps the Peace Corps Response program is fairly small in comparison. But this makes sense since the program requires more specific skill sets and professional experience. Finding Peace Corps Response Assignments If you want to see all openings just click the search button [image]. Note that some postings are for RPCVs only. The time commitment ranges from 5 to 12 months. If you're looking for something shorter than becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer for two year then Peace Corps Response might be for you. The UNV program is also probably worth a look as well (http://www.unv.org). There also other alternatives out there as well such, working at PC HQ or shorter term volunteer experiences (and domestic volunteer opportunities).
