Programming and Training Booklet 3: How To Integrate Second and Third Goals into Programming and Training.

This booklet is one of five in the Peace Corps (PC) Programming and Training Guidelines collection that provides agency-wide programming and training guidance for PC staff and project partners, including advice on how to integrate the PC's cross-cultural goals into programming and training. Following an introduction, Section 1 describes the PC's three goals and how they are reflected in the work of the PC. The following are the three goals: (1) to help the peoples of interested countries and areas meet their needs for trained men and women; (2) to help promote a better understanding of the American people on the part of the peoples served; and (3) to help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of the American people. Section 2 provides ideas on how to ensure that the second and third goals are addressed throughout the service of the PC volunteer. It covers these areas of programming and training: guidelines for volunteers, project design, site development and placement, volunteer training, project implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. Section 3 explores activities and resources that staff and volunteers can use to achieve the second and third goals, both during and after service. Appendixes include a list of 15 related materials, acronyms, a glossary, and an index. (YLB)
