The Peace Corps received 17,336 applications for placements this year, representing a more than 70% increase from last year for a 22-year high. In July, the organization announced a shorter application process that allows individuals to select programs and countries of interest.
The Peace Corps only received more applications in two other years: 1992, when 17,438 people applied, and 1979, when 18,159 applied. The record number of applicants does not change the number of available spots, but the organization aims to eventually increase the number of positions worldwide.
