Crisis corps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Using the language, technical and cross-cultural skills gained through Peace Corps service and other professional experience, the Crisis Corps allows exceptional Volunteers to return to the field in short-term, high-impact assignments that typically range from three to six months.
Crisis Corps Volunteers generally receive the same allowances and benefits as Peace Corps Volunteers, including round-trip transportation, living and readjustment allowances, and medical care. Minimum qualifications for Crisis Corps Volunteers include completion of at least one year of Peace Corps service, excluding training, in addition to medical and legal clearances.
