Input Requested From Former Peace Corps Volunteers!

 

To: U.S. Rotary Club Presidents

 

Dear Tom,

We are contacting you regarding Rotary’s partnership with Peace Corps. In 2015, Rotary International and Peace Corps formalized a service partnership to help enhance our club and district service activities locally and around the world.

Peace Corps, an independent U.S. federal agency, sends U.S. citizens abroad to help tackle the most pressing needs around the world while promoting better international understanding of American culture and enhancing global awareness. With similar missions, we know many of our U.S. Rotarians have served as Peace Corps Volunteers and clubs continue to partner with Peace Corps in many different capacities.

We want to hear from Rotarians with experience working with Peace Corps! Have your fellow club members served as Peace Corps Volunteers or worked with Peace Corps in other capacities? Please forward this survey to your members and encourage them to complete it by 28 February. The link to the survey is included below. The survey should take no more than ten minutes to complete and all responses are confidential.

Peace Corps currently has volunteers in more than 60 countries and concentrates on the following sectors: education, health, community economic development, environment, youth in development, and agriculture. By working together with active and returned Peace Corps Volunteers, we can continue addressing Rotary’s six areas of focus while enhancing goodwill, international understanding, and building capacity to address the most pressing community concerns.

Read the Rotary-Peace Corps partnership factsheet for more information on how clubs and districts can partner with either actively service or returned Peace Corps volunteers. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

 

Best regards,
