Have you ever wondered what it is like to live and work in the most isolated corners of the globe? Now you can see the world through the eyes of more than 80 Oregonians and Washingtonians who experienced the world, up close, personal, and as few ever do – as a Peace Corps Volunteer.
This spring, these NW Peace Corps Volunteers will bring the world to Oregon with a new exhibit celebrating the 50th anniversary of this iconic organization, Peace Corps: 50 Years of Service and Bringing the World Home.
Special Peace Corps Events Sundays through June
1 PM - 3 PM in the Exhibit
April 10: Sports
Calling all sports enthusiasts! What could be a better way to learn about sports in the different countries where RPCVs serve than by talking with those RPCVs themselves? Come see pictures and chat with RPCVs about some of their experiences playing sports during their service.
April 17: Earth Day
Earth Day is a very special occasion that is celebrated in many different ways all over the world. Many Peace Corps volunteers and their communities take advantage of this day to discuss the importance of taking care of our planet and how we can make it a healthier place for the future. Do not miss this opportunity to learn about some of the ways that RPCVs and their communities have been taking action on Earth Day. Enjoy a presentation about building classrooms and other structures out of plastic bottles and trash, as well as learn about the work of RPCVs who served in the environmental and agricultural sectors. You will leave inspired to celebrate Earth Day in your own ways, in your own communities!
