Peace Corps Volunteer Leader
As a Volunteer Leader, I work as an intermediary between volunteers and permanent staff members. I work collaboratively with my Namibian colleagues to find new local organizations that are suitable for volunteers as well as matching incoming volunteers with a site that suits their experience and skillset. Once volunteers arrive I stay in constant contact with them to support their difficult transition to a new culture. If issues arise between the volunteer and their organization or PC staff members I help to mediate the conflict.
