The Peace Corps traces its roots and mission to 1960, when then-Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that inspiration grew an agency of the federal government devoted to world peace and friendship. Since that time, more than 170,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have been invited by 136 host countries to work on issues ranging from AIDS education, information technology, and environmental preservation.

The Mennonite Urban Corps and its daughter organizations PULSE and Louisville Urban Corps, are programs dedicated to bringing college graduates into the city to engage with and build urban communities.  Since 1994, Mennonite Urban Corps has recruited recent college graduates, connected them to community-building organizations where they can meaningfully apply their degrees, and provided them with room and board for a year of service-learning. MennoCorps is rooted in the voluntary service and cross-cultural learning values of the Mennonite Church, but it connects to a wide variety of faith traditions in the pursuit of its goals. The oldest MennoCorps program is PULSE, the Pittsburgh Urban Leadership Service Experience, which was founded in 1994 with the support of Allegheny Mennonite Conference's Mission and Service Commission.
