Published By: CDS on eSS | Published Date: April, 04 , 2011

The Peace Corps is 50 years old in 2011. The agency still holds to its founding goals, laid out by John F. Kennedy, of providing technical assistance and promoting understanding. It runs according to a model laid out by its first Director, Sargent Shriver, a dynamic force who designed the institution in a month and sent out the first volunteers within ten months of the Executive Order creating the agency.
