BLOGGER TEMPLATES - TWITTER BACKGROUNDS »

I called the Peace Corps recruiter in Denver on Tuesday, as I was supposed to call him if I hadn't heard from him by 2/26. He told me the following:

- There aren't a lot of community development projects for the summer. There's one in Central Asia that departs in August. Community development is one of the harder programs, as it's very unstructured.

- There aren't any youth development programs before February 2008.

- Even the most basic teaching positions require experience. There are some programs in the mid to late summer, but he would recommend I start volunteering 10-15 hours/ week in a teaching position.

I'm in limbo with it now. Andres and I went to the PC open house in Denver yesterday, and it would definitely be quite the experience, but I'm still deciding.

I wish I would have caught the Teach for America deadline. I've found some teaching fellowships online, and I'm going to apply for those. My internship supervisor also said he'd send some more teacher job info my way. Apparently Montana has a lot of openings, given the teacher shortage.
