Peace Corps Recruiters at UHM
The Office of Civic and Community Engagement is where you will find UHM's Peace Corps Recruiters.
The Peace Corps Recruiting Team are all Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) and are here on campus to answer any questions you may have about Peace Corps opportunities and, for those that are interested in service, help you through the application process. Recruiters can be reached for one-on-one meetings, virtual meetings, emails and by phone.
Meet Your Peace Corps Recruiters Team!
Orion Young
Aloha! My name is Orion Young, I am originally from California and I joined the Peace Corps after receiving my undergrad degree in Community Health Education. I volunteered in rural villages in Togo and Côte d'Ivoire, as well as refugee camps in Guinea-Conakry on several health projects including Child Nutrition, Guinea Worm, and HIV/AIDS.
My Peace Corps service was truly a formative part of my life. I was inspired to get back to my Chinese roots by attending grad school in China and then working on study abroad programs for American students studying Mandarin both on the ground overseas and right here at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
It is always a pleasure to help those interested in learning more about the Peace Corps!
