Advocacy

As Congress negotiates the 2022 federal budget, Peace Corps funding remains up for debate. The House of Representatives has proposed an increase in funding, up to $435.5 million, while the Senate Appropriations Committee has proposed flat funding of $410.5 million. The extra $20 million is needed as the Peace Corps works on reforms in 2022 to adapt and meet the changing needs of our global environment. Please act by emailing your representatives, urging them and their colleagues to support the Peace Corps and its effective response in 2022.
