"Peace Corps Volunteers have served as our Nation's emissaries of hope and goodwill. Accordingly, their generous efforts have helped to foster mutual understanding and respect between the people of the United States and the citizens of other countries."-George W. Bush
Peace Corps has maintained an apolitical and non-sectarian ideal of technical and cultural exchange. Peace Corps strives to promote world peace and friendship by fulfilling three fundamental goals:
- Providing Volunteers who contribute to the social and economic development of interested countries;
- Promoting a better understanding of Americans among the people whom the Volunteers serve;
- Strengthening Americans' understanding of the world and its peoples
