  • Returned Volunteers FAQs

    Do you have a question regarding your post-service benefits? Unsure of where to return your passport? Want to know how to fill out a federal employment application? We have the answers for you.

  • Find a Job

    Peace Corps' Returned Volunteer Services (RVS) provides career and transitional support to recently returned Peace Corps Volunteers. We have many resources to help you transform your Peace Corps experience into a new career.

    RPCVs are welcome to attend a variety of career events, specifically targeted to help returned Volunteers leverage the value of their Peace Corps service in the job search. Returned Volunteer Services offers a 4 day career conference in Washington, DC, multiple 1 day events around the country, and a variety of online webinars.
