Since 1991, around 1,270 Peace Corps volunteers have worked with 130,000 children, taught in 850 schools, and partnered with 1600 organizations in Bulgaria. In Bulgaria, 120 Peace Corps volunteers, from Community and Organizational Development, Youth Development, and Education programs, serve in Bulgarian towns and villages nationwide. In a country of 7 million people, that is a significant presence.
Worldwide since its establishment in 1961, Peace Corps has sent over 200,000 volunteers to 139 countries. Currently, more than 8,600 volunteers serve in 77 countries worldwide. In addition to the programs in Bulgaria, PCVs work in agriculture development, health education, and conservation.
