[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Peace Corps, a volunteer organization established by the U.S. government, turns 60 this week.\u00a0 The program was established by President John F. Kennedy on March 1, 1961 as an initiative to provide developing countries with support for education and technology utilizing the skills of trained American volunteers.\u00a0 Over its 60 years, the Peace Corps has sent over 235,000 volunteers to 141 countries.\u00a0 Among the ranks of those volunteers is Scott Warmuth, attorney and founder of the Law Offices of Scott Warmuth.<\/p>\n
In 1977, a young Scott Warmuth applied for a college program in New York City that modeled itself after a study abroad program.\u00a0 He was one of seven students ultimately accepted to participate in the program.\u00a0 For two years, Scott lived and worked in New York City while furthering his studies in humanities.\u00a0 This experience helped connect Scott with the people of New York City and the city itself.\u00a0 This led Scott to apply as a volunteer for the Peace Corps.\u00a0 Scott was accepted.<\/p>\n
Even before his career as an attorney, Scott was always focused on helping people.\u00a0 The Peace Corps seemed like a natural fit.\u00a0 In 1979, Scott was assigned to a volunteer position in South Korea.\u00a0 He attended language and culture class before working as a health technician in a small South Korean village near the border with North Korea.\u00a0 It was his duty to help control outbreaks of tuberculosis throughout the village.\u00a0 Scott’s dedication to service and helping people has persisted throughout his career as an attorney.<\/p>\n
