Ukraine; The Peace Corps Welcomes You To

By Peace Corps

Like conditions in Ukraine, Peace Corps programs here continue to evolve. Today, we have three projects: Community Development, Teaching English as Foreign Language (TEFL) and Youth Development.Volunteers in the Community Development project enhance local capacities in partnership building, business and management skills, and organizational development. They promote cooperation among three sectors of society-business, government, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)-to address local issues of interest to communities. Volunteers in the TEFL project work to expand and improve the quality of English instruction in schools, pedagogical colleges and universities. The Youth Development project addresses the growing gap between the development levels of young people in urban centers and those in rural and otherwise disadvantaged areas who risk falling behind in acquiring the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed.The underlying democratic values of civic engagement, fair play, and optimism that one can create a positive future are the underpinnings of Peace Corps in Ukraine.
