peace corp

The Peace Corps is a volunteer program run by the United States government. The stated mission of the Peace Corps includes three goals: providing technical assistance; helping people outside the United States to understand American culture; and helping Americans to understand the cultures of other countries. The work is generally related to social and economic development. Each program participant, a Peace Corps Volunteer, is an American citizen, typically with a college degree, who works abroad for a period of 24 months after three months of training. Volunteers work with governments, schools, non-profit organizations, non-government organizations, and entrepreneurs in education, hunger, business, information technology, agriculture, and the environment. After 24 months of service, volunteers can request an extension of service.

i'm thinking about joining the peace corp after i get out of college if i can't find a good job. i want to help build homes and schools, maybe teach? i think i would enjoy teaching america about other cultures they don't understand.... i want to make a difference for someone.  I want my life to be worth living. i want it to mean something.
