materials and supplies are free. Compensation is made for mileage and telephone
calls. Checks are issued for the pay week following the date the
paperwork reaches the home office and is sent directly to our accountant.

possible communication between them and the home office. Forms are

| Qualifications:
|
Enthusiasm and a sincere interest in helping to fulfill goals are characteristic
of our most successful representatives. Being able to feel at ease
and to establish a good rapport with people is another common bond they
all share.
Other than that, our representatives come from all walks of life. Certainly people who have formerly hosted exchange students from ours or another program can bring an extra dimension of understanding to the job. We also encourage former exchange students to apply.
Sales or marketing experience may be an advantage - especially for those
who've had the experience of promoting concepts and ideas rather than products.
Many of our most effective representatives might consider themselves soccer mom/homemakers who are very active in community volunteer work for schools, sports, churches and clubs. A background in social work, counseling or the clergy - or even some experience with non- profit organizations - can also be helpful. Some fluency in Spanish or Portuguese is useful but not required. Regardless
of peoples' ages or occupations, we at PEACE can't overemphasize the importance
of a candidate's interpersonal skills and a strong motivation to help further
PEACE's mission as the most important factors in our selection process.
|
| Service Areas:: | Territories
will usually include the representative's own county and travel within
about a twenty to fifty mile radius of home, depending more or less
upon our coverage needs. PEACE is the only foreign exchange student
program with its international headquarters in Pennsylvania and most of
our placements are made within the state.
