Making a lasting impact
Clark’s Peace Corps Prep program is designed to prepare you for meaningful international service.
Open to all Clark University undergraduate students with any major, including international students, the program combines carefully selected courses with intercultural experience and community-based project learning to help prepare you for global service work. When you graduate, you will receive an official Certificate of Completion from the Peace Corps. This gives you a competitive edge if you apply to be a Peace Corps volunteer, but also provides skills that are valuable in broad range of international development roles.
Why Peace Corps Prep
Hear from volunteers
“I always dreamt of serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Serving in the Peace Corps gave me amazing opportunities to learn about the beautiful country, Zambia, international development, and myself. I would not be who I am today if I hadn’t served in the Peace Corps. I hope to serve again later on in my life!

“As part of my Peace Corps Prep program at the University of Florida, I took courses in food security, environmental sustainability, and French. I gained hands-0n experience volunteering at an urban farm that provided fresh vegetables to local food pantries. This program helped connect my coursework to hands-on experiences and prepared me to volunteer in Senegal doing urban agriculture work.
