Peace Corps Volunteer Discounts

There is no getting around it.

Preparing for Peace Corps service means making some purchases, especially if you’re not an avid traveler or don’t happen to have a secret stash of quick-dry socks.

As Peace Corps Volunteers, we often work with limited discretionary funds, so finding discounts, deals, freebies, clearance items, or hand-me-downs becomes a survival skill. But there’s a balancing act to consider.

Serving 27 months in a foreign country demands reliable, high-quality gear. You’ll likely face extreme weather, unpredictable power surges, and the occasional stray dog that thinks your backpack is a chew toy. The good news? Preparing wisely doesn’t have to cost a fortune—it just requires some savvy planning.

That’s where Peace Corps Volunteer Discounts come in.

Thanks to the collective efforts of past Volunteers, we’ve compiled, confirmed, and reviewed a variety of brands that offer generous discounts specifically for Peace Corps Volunteers. From free shipping to 50% off, the 2025 Peace Corps Volunteer Discount List is a dynamic resource designed to help aspiring Volunteers access high-quality gear without breaking the bank.
