It’s about this time of the year that soon to be college graduates start to think about life beyond college. Among the various international experiences available to them is volunteering for the Peace Corps. Established in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, Peace Corps has worked in over 140 countries around the world improving education, advancing community development, and alleviating poverty. There is no application deadline: applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
I am a career coach, consultant, and head of a not for profit - the Forage Center - that offers humanitarian education training. I also teach at George Mason University and Drexel University. A one time lawyer, I spent many years teaching in a community college where I was a Fulbright U.S. Scholar teaching in Estonia. I'm the author of Peace Jobs: A Student's Guide to Starting a Career Working for Peace (IAP 2016). I've been married to my best friend for over 31 years and we have two well adjusted adult children who teach me something new everyday. I live in Rockville, Maryland.
