Candidates who have lived in the country and speak the language are preferred. In most cases, a minimum of a two-year commitment is requested. Though it is difficult to estimate the time commitment required of volunteers, it is estimated that the position averages ten hours per week. In the interest of avoiding any perception of political bias, Country Specialists may not be assigned to their country of birth, citizenship or naturalization.
