Peace Corps Lunch Chat

The Peace Corps Coffee Chat for January will focus on “Finances in the Peace Corps”.

We will talk about finances before service, during service, and after service so that you have a better idea of how to best manage your money in the Peace Corps whether you come in with or without savings. This informal discussion with Returned Peace Corps Volunteers is designed to give you an opportunity to ask questions and hear unique perspectives on an interesting 27 months in Peace Corps.
