The primary purpose of the Peace Corps is to provide volunteer assistance to developing nations. Established in 1961, the Peace Corps aims to promote world peace and friendship by sending American volunteers to work on various projects that address critical needs in education, health, agriculture, and economic development, among others. Volunteers are tasked with empowering communities by sharing skills and collaborating with local people to help improve their quality of life. The focus of the Peace Corps is on fostering direct, impactful assistance rather than military, economic, or cultural diplomacy. While promoting cultural exchange can occur through volunteers' interactions with local communities, the core mission revolves around service and volunteerism, making C the most accurate representation of its purpose.
