Are You Already 50 Years Old----But Not Yet Over the Hill???
By
Donna Braden
There is no upper age limit for serving in the Peace Corps! Many of
those who remember hearing John F. Kennedy say “Ask not what your
country can do for you…ask what you can do for your country” are now
realizing that “call to service” really does include them. This age
group is completing careers, completing day-to-day child rearing
responsibilities, and asking themselves, “What’s next?”
Donna Braden, 50+ Recruiter at the Chicago Regional Peace Corps
Office, served in Peace Corps after reaching age 60. She was an
Environmental Volunteer in Kryvyi Rih, an iron mining and steel
refining city in Eastern Ukraine. She worked mostly with young
people. When discussing the impact she made she says she “planted
lots of seeds.” She had incredible experiences camping with
teenagers in the Ukrainian steppe land, traveling on a short
vacation to Odessa, enjoying the historic atmosphere of Lviv and
Kiev and Slavianagorsk.
Come hear Donna discuss her Peace Corps experiences and the benefits
she gained from serving. And, if you’re so inspired, learn how you
can add new experiences to your lifelong list.
