"Corporate Peace Corps" a draw for many
Posted by at 7:38 PM

Businesses like PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Pfizer are expanding philanthropy by giving more than cash, they're offering employees. Is a stint in the "Corporate Peace Corps" in the cards for you?

"In the past five years, there has been a burst of interest for international fellowships," said Jennifer Anastasoff, chief executive officer of Building Blocks International, a nonprofit organization that advises companies in developing corporate service fellowships. In the past 30 years, 2,100 employees have participated in what some call the "Corporate Peace Corps." She wants to double the number in the next five years.
