It is well to be prepared for life as it is, but it is better to be prepared to make life better than it is. ~Sargent Shriver, Founder and First Director of the Peace Corps
The Peace Corps celebrates its 50th year. On March 1, 1961, President Kennedy “issued Executive Order 10924 establishing the Peace Corps as a new agency within the Department of State. The same day, he sent a message to Congress asking for permanent funding for the agency, which would send trained American men and women to foreign nations to assist in development efforts. The Peace Corps captured the imagination of the U.S. public, and during the week following its creation, thousands of letters poured into Washington from young Americans hoping to volunteer.”
