Peace Corps Week

Peace Corps Week: February 26 - March 4

Peace Corps Week commemorates President Kennedy's establishment of the Peace Corps on March 1, 1961. During this annual event, the Peace Corps community celebrates all the ways that Peace Corps makes a difference at home and abroad and renews its commitment to service. This year's theme is Highlighting Hospitality: How Does Your Peace Corps Country Make People Feel Welcome? Volunteers are often humbled by the hospitality of their Peace Corps country. Share those tradition of hospitality and feelings of welcome with the world this Peace Corps week.
