Looking for a speaker for your class or community group about a country of the world where Peace Corps Volunteers have worked? Want to talk about your Peace Corps experience and/or the country where you served? The Speaker’s Bureau is an opportunity for RPCVs to fulfill the 3rd Goal of the Peace Corps: to help people in the US become better informed about the rest of the world. Speaker's Bureau is a great way to encourage students and community members to become involved with Peace Corps. We can match RPCVs from all decades with requesters looking for speakers to talk to groups of all ages. Collectively, we offer unique perspectives from living at the community level in locations across the globe, from large cities to remote rural areas, from the ’60s to the present. The Speaker’s Bureau Chair actively search for schools and other locations that would be interested in hosting a talk by an RPCV and welcomes unsolicited invitations as well. We can arrange for presentations by individuals as well as group panel discussions.
