I have a friend in the US who has signed up for the Peace Corp, it sounds interesting, and i was wondering whether the UK has anything similar?
Thanks

They have the Royal army reserve which when they arent training they are going and doing things similar to the U.S Peace Corps.

VSO is as close as you folks come. It is an international group with deep roots in the UK, not a part of Her Majesty's Government. They do good work and their workers are volunteers. When I was a "Peace Corps" I met several "VSO s". (As in "The tall one with a big nose is a Peace Corps; the other one is a VSO"). Learn more:

Canadians have CUSO:
