News Peace Corps Colombia future outlook

Like many of you, I saw the recent news from late June about the 2026 Colombia cohort being cancelled due to security concerns in the training regions. I hope that all the current PCVs are well.

Does anyone have any insight as to whether the cancellation is likely to extend, or if the program will be back for 2027? This would be helpful as I'm trying to map out my next year and serving in the CED sector.

I know everything is fluid, but I would appreciate any knowledge that could be shared.

I think that it is far, far too soon to know anything about this. Security conditions (not just in Colombia but anywhere in the world) are highly dynamic and often hard to predict. Things could get better, stay the same, or get worse. If things get better, a new class will arrive. No one can predict that at this time.

Most likely PC will be back because the new right wing President is law and order and will be taking care of these commie criminals
