Peace Corps Week
Share Your Peace Corps Story
March 1 – 7, 2010

Each year, thousands of RPCVs celebrate the Peace Corps’ anniversary by organizing or participating in a third goal activity and sharing stories of their host country experiences with other Americans. These activities advance the Peace Corps mission here in the U.S. while strengthening peace and understanding between Americans and Peace Corps countries of service.

As an RPCV, you are invited to participate in Peace Corps Week by planning a presentation, a Q&A, or an exhibit, by writing a story or letter to the editor of your local paper, or by visiting local officials during the week of March 1 – 7, 2010. If you are interested in classroom visits, the World Wise Schools Speakers Match (http://www.peacecorps.gov/wws/speakersmatch/) program helps to connect RPCVs with schools and civic groups who request speakers—write to wwsinfo@peacecorps.gov to sign up or for more information.

Please remember to register your Peace Corps Week participation online; this is the only means we have to demonstrate the impact of third goal events to Congress. All registrants will receive a free presentation kit, which includes a world map, Peace Corps logo stickers, and bookmarks for your audience.

Visit www.peacecorps.gov/thirdgoal to get details, activity suggestions, and to register online!

For more information, email us at thirdgoal@peacecorps.gov or call 1.800.424.8580, ext. 1961.

 

 

Peace Corps Week, March 1 - 7, 2010.

This year join the Peace Corps community nationwide and celebrate the Peace Corps' 49th anniversary with a third goal activity! Honor Volunteers of past and present and your host countries by bringing the world home. You can do this through a variety of ways such as organizing a cultural event, presenting an exhibit of photographs or crafts, or visiting a classroom.

Don't forget to register your third goal participation at http://www.peacecorps.gov/wws/speakersmatch/! This is the only means we have to demonstrate the impact of third goal events to Congress.
