Sometimes, you reach a point in your career where you wonder what would have happened if you had taken a different path. Maybe you enjoy the life you have, but wish you'd had the chance to do something different, something adventuresome, something that matters.   It's not too late.   For many people in mid-career, the Peace Corps is the perfect transition point.

You may decide to take a completely different direction with your life when you get back.

But trust us, it can be done. And it will be worth it.       If you think you're ready to join, you can click here to apply now.       Peace Corps recruiters appear at information sessions, campus and community events, and career fairs.
