For anyone preparing to serve, "it depends" is a frustrating refrain. Every prospective Volunteer wants specifics-what to expect, what the day-to-day looks like, and how two years of service will shape the rest of their life. But the truth is... no two Peace Corps experiences are alike, and the most meaningful moments are rarely the ones you plan for.

It Depends: A Guide to Peace Corps offers an honest, grounded look at life as a Peace Corps Volunteer: the realities of preparing for service, the gap between expectation and experience, and the unexpected rewards that come from letting go of a fixed idea of how things "should" go. It's a guide to readying yourself not just for the challenges you can anticipate, but for the ones you can't-and a reminder that the richest takeaways often arrive when you stop trying to script them.

For future Volunteers, the curious, and anyone drawn to the idea of service abroad, this is a candid introduction to what the Peace Corps can give you if you're willing to expect the unexpected.

It Depends: A Guide to Peace Corps, is a full hand-guide to life as a Peace Corps Volunteer anywhere in the world.

This book provides:

Knowledge on how to prepare for service starting from Application to Close of Service.
Ways to integrate into culture and learn the language so you have the best service.
Understanding on the complex and exciting journey of volunteering.
Insight on LGBTQI and Diversity
Exercises that help you process what you're experiencing during your service
Education on what to expect after you've completed your service and come back to the United States.
