Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of NE NY banner

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 often invite a recently returned volunteer to share their experiences.  

Become a member of our local Return PC group.  Our active members span the globe with Peace Corps service and 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 are welcome.  

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 Regular  Meeting:

Date: Tuesday, Sept 2, 6.00pm

Venue: Christine Dryfus's
