The Peace Corps announced that the University of Washington is No. 3 on a list of top volunteer-producing institutions over the past two decades.

Only the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison had more Peace Corps volunteers, based on a list compiled for the years 2003 to 2023.

Volunteers are needed this year to serve abroad, said agency director Carol Spahn. The Peace Corps places volunteers around the world, at the invitation of host country governments, to connect through a grassroots approach across communities and cultures.
