4. Peace Corps and International Volunteering

Many retirees view the Peace Corps as a young person’s game, but the organization actively recruits seniors. Currently, roughly 7 percent of Peace Corps volunteers are over the age of 50. Older volunteers bring decades of professional experience to communities that desperately need expertise in agriculture, business development, and education.

The Peace Corps provides a living stipend, housing, and full medical coverage during your service. As an added financial benefit, federal annuitants can continue collecting their pension payments while serving, allowing their nest egg to grow untouched while they live abroad.
