Peace Corps Modernization: More Volunteers, Better Support, and New Career Paths.

This act aims to streamline the Peace Corps' operations by directing more funds directly to volunteers and their training. This will increase the number of people helping abroad and make it easier for former volunteers to join the Foreign Service, offering them additional points and recognizing their experience. Citizens can expect their taxes to be used more effectively for peace missions, and that Peace Corps service will become a more attractive career path.
Key points
Most of the Peace Corps' budget (85%) will be allocated directly to volunteers, aiming to increase their numbers worldwide.
Peace Corps activities will be more closely aligned with U.S. foreign policy priorities, including presence in Pacific Island countries.
Former Peace Corps volunteers will have a streamlined pathway to join the Foreign Service, with bonus points and recognition of their service.
Enhanced coordination of Peace Corps operations with U.S. embassies and increased oversight of expenditures.
