Peace Corps

The Peace Corps was invited by the Government of Ecuador on August 3, 1962 to provide technical assistance to development projects that would help meet the economic needs of the country and its people. Since then, 5,532 Peace Corps Volunteers have worked at the grassroots level, assisting Ecuadorian communities with various development needs.

Volunteers work in one of the four different programs:  Habitat Conservation, Rural Public Health, Sustainable Agriculture, or Youth & Families.

Volunteers live at a level similar to the members of the communities where they live and receive a small living allowance.  165 Volunteers and trainees currently serve in  Ecuador.
