Pros

It was honestly an amazing experience! Absolutely love my country of service, my host family & other volunteers I met.

Cons

All of my issues are with Peace Corps and not my country of service. Peace Corps isn't actually an international development program, at most I'd call it a cultural exchange. Peace Corps HQ mishandles mental health issues, sexual assault issues, and race issues. Volunteers aren't given voices and often treated like children.

Pros

Great work, good cause. Proud to be a part of the agency.

Cons

Unable to continue due to doge, which seemed unfair. Not based on merit or worth but a number to be eliminated.
