Abstract

In each country where Volunteers serve, a Peace Corps Director and his staff are responsible for the program. They must work with the host government to determine how many Volunteers can best fill the country's needs, doing what jobs, where and how. They must provide the Volunteers with leadership without infringing on the responsibilities of local officials or the Volunteers' freedom and capacity for independ ent action, upon which the Peace Corps success depends. To fill these staff jobs, the Peace Corps usually has looked outside government and to the returned Volunteers and, with consider able success and some failures, has created a noncareer over seas service of remarkably diverse talents and experience.
