About Peace Corps El Salvador
The Peace Corps traces its roots and mission to 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that inspiration grew an agency of the federal government devoted to world peace and friendship. Since that time, more than 240,000 Americans of all ages have responded to Kennedy’s call to serve and have helped communities in 161 countries. Today's Peace Corps is more vital than ever, working in emerging and essential areas such as information technology and business development. Peace Corps Volunteers continue to support countless individuals who want to build a better life for themselves, their children, and their communities. In September 2023, the Peace Corps announced the re-establishment of operations in El Salvador. Under the new agreement, Peace Corps is committed to working with the government of El Salvador to develop projects that support Community Economic Development and Youth initiatives.

✅Week 2 brought great energy and meaningful experiences for our trainees. They joined in on National Celebrations Day, taking part in activities that encouraged team bonding, cultural appreciation, and a strong sense of community.​

Our Youth Development trainees reached a big milestone by meeting local leadership clubs for the first time. It gave them a great chance to practice how to connect and communicate with younger kids in a simple, supportive way.

Overall, Week 2 was a success! 👌🏼​We’re excited to see what’s next! ✨

Keily captured this cooking class through her camera as she and Aaron teamed up for a fun English‑language culinary activity. Youth in her community’s specialized culinary track prepared traditional Salvadoran dishes and walked both Volunteers through each step. They shared stories, life skills, cooking tips — and of course, some very delicious food! 👩‍🍳✨​
A beautiful blend of culture, learning, and community.​

Keily capturó esta clase culinaria desde su cámara mientras ella y Aaron se unían para una divertida actividad de cocina en inglés. La juventud del bachillerato especializado en su comunidad preparó platillos tradicionales salvadoreños y explicó cada paso a ambos Voluntarios. Compartieron historias, habilidades para la vida, consejos de cocina ¡y comidas deliciosas! 👩‍🍳✨​
Una mezcla hermosa de cultura, aprendizaje y comunidad.

Prepararnos para recibir a nuestro nuevo grupo de aspirantes a voluntarios también significa revisitar los espacios que se convirtieron en hogar para muchos Voluntarios. Julie capturó estas vistas desde la casa de su familia anfitriona durante su capacitación previa al servicio — un recordatorio de los paisajes, las personas y los momentos que hacen de El Salvador un lugar tan especial. 🌄💙​
Ya queremos que el próximo cohorte comience su camino.

The energy, creativity, and pure love for the sport show how deeply soccer inspires youth in El Salvador — building confidence, friendship, and connection along the way. ✨
