It's time for a Peace Corps for the whole Earth. It's time for an Earth Corps.: Overview

The purpose of the Earth Corps for Global Service (ECGS) is to dramatically increase the number of people, worldwide, who volunteer and work for existing social and environmental service organizations such as the Peace Corps, Doctors Without Borders, and the UN Volunteers. We are forming a coalition of such organizations into a kind of Peace Corps for the whole Earth, what we're calling the Earth Corps Coalition.

Our aim is to double the number of participants
in these programs in three years,
and to quadruple the number by 2012.

We're also working with foundations, academic institutions, and media partners to design and launch some highly synergistic initiatives which will further the ECGS mission:

  1. The Earth Corps Training
  2. The People's Peace Prize
  3. The World Peace Forum
  4. A Peace Telethon
  5. A global, public-service Media Campaign
