  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Does anyone have any experience in the Peace Corps? I just submitted my application. I don't know if it's something I'm doing for sure, but I'm definitely interested.

I have a couple of friends who joined and they loved the experience. Anyone else ever volunteer? The great thing is I can defer my loans and then get a little help paying them back as well as gain priceless experiences.

I've been wanting to devote serious time to volunteering and I think this might be an excellent way to do so.

I have numerous friends who are doing that when they graduate. I've generally heard good things, as long as you know what to expect.

I guess the only thing I'm really anxious about is meeting people my own age. I want to volunteer, and I'm not worried about living conditions. But, I'm afraid of being seperated from anyone near my age or who has anything in common with me for two years.
