Peace Corps Got to Make "Major" Cuts After Doge Review | American Politics

According to sources familiar with the matter, the Peace Corps is offering employees a second "fork" acquisition. Peace Corps CEO Allison Greene sent an email to staff on Monday and provided the latest news about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) evaluating the agency.

Green said that according to the Guardian email, “significant restructuring efforts” at the Peace Corps headquarters are expected. Starting April 28 and until May 6, direct hiring and expert staff will receive a second resignation plan, which Elon Musk's Doge calls the "fork on the road" acquisition. Green calls this offer "DRP 2.0".

Green wrote that eligible employees would hear from HR and “strongly encourage the consideration of this option.” This offer is applicable to employees at home and abroad.

Green said the Peace Corps will "continue to recruit, place and train volunteers", indicating that the cuts are specifically targeted at agents and will not affect volunteers.

A Peace Corps spokesman confirmed that the Governor began layoffs on Monday.

"The agency will continue to operate and continue to recruit, place and train volunteers while continuing to support its healthy, safe and safe and effective services," a spokesperson said.

Since Donald Trump opened and hired Musk to lead the governor of the unofficial government agency, the secret group has been steadily cutting budgets and laying off workers at federal agencies.

To determine the mission of "waste, fraud and abuse", it targeted nearly twenty agencies and fired hundreds of workers. Doge focuses specifically on institutions involved in foreign aid and development, such as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

According to two familiar situations, in early April, Doji started working from early April. At that time, Bridget Youngs, a church representative, visited the agency's headquarters and asked for access to the agency's financial records. Over the next few weeks, Doc workers continued to work in the buildings.

Peace Corps staff were told to work with Doge, “If system data is required, confirm what is needed to meet its needs (data, format, etc.). Additionally, the staff said: “In any case, ensure that the content retains and provides content and the content provided.”

It is unclear how much Peace Corps jobs will be laid off or whether Doge will direct the agency to do more than this new round of acquisitions. In another email sent by the Peace Corps Human Resources Office on Monday, the agency wrote: “At present, we cannot fully guarantee which positions (or where) will be retained after the expected restructuring of the workforce.”

The Peace Corps sent volunteers to countries around the world and worked in public health, economic development and education programs for two years. It was founded in 1961 by John F Kennedy and has sent more than 240,000 volunteers abroad. Currently, it has about 3,000 volunteers working in 60 different countries.
