Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of NE NY banner

AIDS Orphan

Welcome to the Northeastern New York Chapter of the Returned Peace Corps Association.  We seek to use our overseas experience to fulfill the third goal of Peace Corps: To educate and inform people here in the US about the countries in which we volunteered.  

We meet on the first Tuesday of every month (see box on right for venue). We usually invite a speaker, often a recently returned volunteer to share their experiences.

Become a member of our local Return PC group.  Our active members span over 40 years of Peace Corps service as well as friends who share the spirit of  encouraging understanding of world cultures and supporting a world view on topics such as the environment, social justice, and peace.  We're always open to new members and love to hear others share their experiences.   

If you are interested in serving overseas with Peace Corps, find a PC recruiter here or come to a meeting and chat with us.  

Do you want a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer to
speak at your school?

Next Monthly Meeting:

Date: Tuesday, May 6, 6.00pm

Venue: Bob Crowley's
