Editor's Note: This is the
third in a series of articles
on the peace corps project.
This article deals with the
qualifications and training
process which applicants
must undergo.
By JAN SACK
At the heart of the Peace
Corps hes a challenge, a
responsibility, and the de
sire to promote better un
derstanding among the
world's people.
In order to get the best
young men and women, the
program of selecting the
volunteers is quite rigid.
From more than 18,000 appli
cants during its first 12
months of operation, 698
were selected, trained and
sent overseas.
Out of this number more
than 90 percent have col
lege and advanced degrees
and about one-third of the
number are women, many
of whom are teachers and
nurses.
Because of the enormous
number of applications, a
strict program has been
set up. Many applicants are
ineligible because of depen
dents, marital stauts, lack

Corps Training Is Rigorous
cf specific skills needed or
other reasons.
Corps Standards
Standards of the Peace
Corps service are high and
minimum requirements
must be met. To be selected
for the service a candidate
must be intelligent enough
to meet the job demands of
a particular project and to
cope with the challenges of
Peace Corps work.
Among the other qualifi
cations, a volunteer must
know enough of the social
and political institutions of
the United States to answer
questions about them.
The Corpsmen must be in
good health and have suffi
cient physical stamina to
withstand the stress he will
encounter. The individual
must be emotionally stable
and have the patience to
cooperate with fellow work
ers. Obviously, a Volunteer
also needs a command of
the language if he is going
to serve a foreign country.
Two-Phase
Selection of a Peace
Corps Volunteer is a two
phase process: first, selec
tion for training, based on a

and an evaluation of per
formance during training.
After being selected for
Peace Corps training, an
eight-week intensive session
begins in the United States.
The home training program
has as its objectives:
1) To insure that the Vol
unteer has the necessary
technical skills to do his job.
2) To insure that the
Volunteer can communicate
with the native in his own
language.
3) To instill in him a re
spect for the culture, tradi
tions, problems and aspira
tions of the host country.
4) To deepen the Volun
teer's understanding of his
own country and problems
basic to international af
fairs. 5) To help him cope with
his task physically, mental
ly and emotionally.
6) To inform him of Com
munist ideology and tactics
as required by the Peace
Corps Act.

In February of this year
seven universities in the

The seven are American

the University of Maryland.
After this eight-week ses

This center is located on
the forest preserve in a
mountain region south of
Areclbo. The areas has a

Peace Corps.
From the Puerto Rican
training grounds the volun
teer is then ready to be
assigned to overseas duty.
A period of three weeks of
overseas training in the host
country then begins before
the volunteer is se nt to
the various villages. This
period provides elements of
training not available in the
United States or Puerto
Rico.
In addition this final
training enables the host
country to contribute to the
preparation of the volun
teers to work within its
borders, and it offers a fi
nal opportunity to observe
the suitability of the volun
teer for work which lies
ahead.
