Many Peace Corps Volunteers will contribute to HIV/AIDS initiatives during their service, regardless of their area of expertise. Currently, the Peace Corps trains all Volunteers who serve in Africa, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia to be advocates and educators of HIV/AIDS prevention and care. Volunteers help people affected by HIV/AIDS through work in areas such as public health education, community and nongovernmental organizations, and business advising. Volunteers do not provide direct medical care.
Come listen to Returned Peace Corps Volunteers who will share their personal experiences, answer your questions, and provide tips to guide you through the application process.
This panel is on International AIDS Day, so panelists will discuss their service in general, but also focus on the ways they worked to help prevent HIV/AIDS around the world.
