We discovered that our audience wanted to make a hands-on contribution on the world, and that they wanted a truly immersive experience to connect with people and share cultures. And yet, when multicultural millennial males considered the 2-year commitment that the Peace Corps demands, it was the fear of missing out and falling behind that kept them from applying. They were concerned about deviating from a traditional career path and falling behind their peers. To convert these fears into opportunities, we came up with a campaign encouraging potential Volunteers to “Do the Unexpected.” This campaign allowed multicultural millennial males to challenge the norm and leverage their desire to do something greater, with the Peace Corps as their partner.
