All RPCVs are encouraged to get involved with one of our group's action teams.  Do you enjoy sharing stories about your Peace Corps experiences with school groups?  Would you like to help organize social events for other area RPCVs?  Would you be willing to talk to potential PCVs that have questions about the Peace Corps experience?  If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you should get involved with one of our action teams today!

Goal: Educate the public about other countries and cultures

The outreach action team seeks to provide opportunities for RPCVs to share their Peace Corps experiences with others in the community by speaking for school and community groups.  If you are a teacher or civic group leader and wish to have an RPCV speak to your class or group, send us an email!  If you are an RPCV, please join our speakers' bureau so we can share your name with teachers and community groups that want to learn more about Peace Corps or the country you served in.  Either email info@rpcvs.org or register with the national Peace Corps speakers' bureau at http://www.peacematch.org.
