Can you join the peace corp for just one year?

I want to know if you're allowed to do Peace Corp for one year, or if you are required to sign up for at least two years.

All Peace Corps volunteers commit to 27 months of training and service. Once the initial 27 months expires, it is possible to extend your service for a shorter amount of time.


Ted Pack
No, you cannot.

You can quit at any time, but it isn't fair to sign up intending to short-change the Corps, your host country and yourself. The standard term is 3 months of training and 24 months of service. You need a college degree or 10 - 50 years of experience in a skill a host country has asked for, like farming.

It is pronounced "core" but spelled "corps".

It isn't military. You work alone and unarmed, among people who invited you to come to their country.

Marine Corps: Find the bad guys. Shoot them.
Peace Corps: Find the uneducated. Teach them.

the peace corps is kind of the opposite of the military...you probably shouldn't ask the military section.
