Types of Early Termination

There are four types of early terminations:

  • Resignation - all trainees and volunteers have the right to resign at any time, for any reason, during their training or service.

  • Medical Separation - used if a health condition arises that precludes continued service.

  • Interrupted Service - used when the country director determines that circumstances beyond the control of the trainee or volunteer make it necessary for the trainee or volunteer to leave his or her present assignment.

  • Administrative Separation - used when a trainee or volunteer should no longer continue Peace Corps service for the interest of all concerned.
