Who Can Volunteer Through Peace Through Action

We welcome everyone who desires greater peace to volunteer through us. People in every part of the country can volunteer through us; our opportunities are not restricted by area.

We encourage people with lived experiences as survivors of violence and residents of communities at increased risk of violence to volunteer through us. Also, we invite people who belong to identity groups that have been historically underrepresented in volunteering to partner with us. This includes people who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color, people who identify as LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, people living in rural and Tribal areas, people experiencing or having experienced poverty, neighbors returning from incarceration, and newly arrived neighbors.

We encourage alums of AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, and other national service programs, U.S. veterans, and people with public service experience to continue their service as a Peace Through Action® USA volunteer.

We aspire to achieve and maintain an organization culture and practice of equal opportunity and disability inclusion. We do not discriminate against any person on the basis of any actual or perceived protected trait of such person.  We provide reasonable accommodation to people with disabilities and encourage such people to request accommodation at any point in time. To do so, please complete and return an Accommodation Request Form.
