I am currently a junior majoring in Social Work
. I know I need a license to be competitive . Recently, I decided to have a long term goal of traveling abroad with Peace Corps until I cannot.

Here is the thing I enjoy community health and volunteer within that sector. Should I change my major to Community Health so I can be better prepared for being a community or public health duties in Peace Corps or just do Social work studies?

Hi! In my experience there are a lot of similarities. There is no need to change your major as a junior. Can you add a minor in Community Health? Alternatively just take some additional classes if that is something you are interested in. Either way you will learn a lot by volunteering. Good luck!
