Peace Corps
US organization of trained men and women, established by President Kennedy in 1961. The Peace Corps provides skilled volunteer workers for developing countries, especially in the fields of teaching, agriculture, and health, for a period of two years.
Living among the country's inhabitants, workers are paid only a small allowance to cover their basic needs and maintain health. The organization provides around 6,500 volunteers in 94 countries each year; over 140,000 people have been involved since 1961 (1995). The Peace Corps was inspired by the British programme Voluntary Service Overseas.
