Prospective Volunteers
Our first word of advice (as any good guide will say): don't panic. As Peace Corps volunteers ourselves, we understand the excitement, confusion, worry and elation of prospective volunteers. Thus, we have got you covered.
Below you will find a variety of resources to help you from invitation to arrival in Ouagadougou. We hope you find them useful. And don't forget to bring a towel.
Also, if you have received your invitation to volunteer in Burkina Faso from PC Washington, then send us an email (peace.corps.bit@gmail.com) and we can build you an user account for this site.
