Yes, seniors are accepted! Not only does Peace Corps accept seniors, but they are currently doing a recruitment drive focusing on volunteers age 50+. Older volunteers have a lot to contribute - maturity, skills, etc. Your only obstacle in the application process is that you may have to jump through a few more hoops during medical clearance (a couple of extra tests, no big deal).

I believe President Carter's mother, Miss Lillian, was a senior citizen when she was in the Peace Corp. There are still many things that older people can offer if their physical stamina is still intact.

I certainly do Thomas. I nonetheless sense an discomfort whilst i think of of this. and that i fairly admire individuals for his or her "ok, we could purely come again up and get issues going back" approach. I observed the comparable approach from the folk in South Mississippi after Katrina. the full international improve into centred on what befell to New Orleans, and no one pronounced a lot if something appropriate to the indisputable fact that coastal Mississippi cities (Waveland, bypass Christian, Gulfport, Bay St Louis, Biloxi, D' Iberville) have been all decreased to matchsticks, no longer purely flooded. Am no longer asserting What befell in New Orleans improve into no longer undesirable, yet rather of coming up a noise approximately it the folk in MS purely rolled up their sleeves and pronounced "ok, we could rebuild and get our lives back". Am seeing the comparable factor among the folk in Texas with those wild fires purely now. the folk in tornado alley did the comparable interior the Spring. individuals deserve our admire. Beulah
