The Peace Corps was invited to send business volunteers to Ukraine in 1992, shortly after independence. Today, approximately 170 volunteers are working on various business, education, community development, and environmental projects throughout the country. Over six hundred fifty volunteers have served in Ukraine since 1992.

Currently, more than 7,000 Peace Corps volunteers are serving in 76 countries, working to bring clean water to communities, teach children, help start new small businesses, and stop the spread of AIDS.  Since 1961, more than 161,000 Americans have joined the Peace Corps, serving in 134 nations.
