About this file
This document is a webinar summary regarding the Strategic Campus Recruiter Program (STRAT), a joint initiative between the Peace Corps and the Department of the Interior to establish part-time campus recruiting positions at universities.
The program establishes a three-way partnership in which universities hire returned Peace Corps Volunteers to serve approximately 20 hours per week as campus recruiters, promoting Peace Corps opportunities, conducting outreach events, building faculty relationships, and generating leads. Universities must provide workspace, computer, and phone resources; lead the hiring process; support onboarding; and review monthly, mid-year, and final reports. The Peace Corps provides training, oversight, and recruitment strategy support. Contracts run for one base year with four option years, typically from August 1 to July 31. The Peace Corps supplies a monthly reporting template tracking one-on-one meetings, office hours, events, partnership meetings, and lead generation metrics.
Institutions must be registered and active in SAM.gov to participate. Key solicitation deadlines are April 21 for question submissions and May 18 for proposal/quote submission (extended via Amendment 3 from the original May 11 deadline). All institutions, including incumbents, must submit complete offers. Historically, most eligible institutions submitting technically acceptable offers have been awarded contracts. Wage determination guidance will be provided in written responses. The document notes that recruiters need not be enrolled students, and full-time university employees may serve as recruiters if the institution determines it appropriate. The program benefits universities by elevating their global service profile, enhancing student exposure to international opportunities, and building long-term relationships with Peace Corps.

• Generate leads and support Peace Corps recruitment goals
2. Program Structure
The model is a three-way partnership between:

Contracts are for one base year with four option years and typically run from August 1– July 31.
