Representatives from the Department of Government Efficiency have arrived at the Peace Corps' headquarters, the agency confirmed Saturday, signaling possible cuts to a volunteer mission that has long enjoyed bipartisan support.
“Staff from the Department of Government Efficiency are currently working at Peace Corps headquarters and the agency is supporting their requests," the Peace Corps' press office said, without specifying what work DOGE is undertaking or how the agency is accommodating its requests.
The National Peace Corps Association said a DOGE representative arrived Friday and that additional staff were expected through the weekend. The nonprofit organization, which supports the agency's mission, told members it was on watch for news of any funding cuts.
"These visits at other federal agencies have led to major funding cuts," the association said in a post to Facebook. "We don’t yet know the full impact, but we’re watching closely."
