MorePeaceCorps is a national outreach and legislative campaign to build public support for a reinvigorated Peace Corps
to double the Peace Corps in size and budget by 2011, its 50th anniversary
move the Peace Corps one step closer to President Kennedy’s original vision of 100,000 volunteers
to affect desired change, create goodwill, and enrich the U.S. by returning to it a large body of men and women familiar with foreign cultures and dedicated to service.

The Facts

  • Demand for volunteers exceeds supply; more than 20 additional countries have requested volunteers and existing programs need greater numbers.
  • The number of presently serving volunteers, 8,000, is half the total of four decades ago.
  • The astounding success of the Peace Corps, managed on a shoestring budget of $331 million, less than the cost of one day in Iraq, deserves recognition and increase.
