Curious about joining the Peace Corps? Wondering how Peace Corps Volunteers engage with communities? Interested in development through the lens of agricultural extension?

Six recent volunteers from Senegal, Guinea, Madagascar, Benin and Niger will discuss their work in training, extension and research involving SRI, and opportunities for Cornell students looking to join the Peace Corps orĀ engage in rural development.
