Description

This brochure is informing potential Peace Corps volunteers about what the organization does to support agricultural efforts around the world. It informs the potential recruits of the early 1960s that education background is not a barrier to volunteering, though some knowledge of agriculture was preferred if the prospective volunteer had no college degree. The brochure additionally gives some testimonies from previous volunteers, has pictures of volunteers in the field, and general volunteer requirements. A list of desired agriculture skills and a list of countries where the Peace Corps is active are included.
