Peace Corps Fund

Peace Corps Fund
The Peace Corps Fund was created by a core group of a dozen committed Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVS) soon after September 11, 2001 with the primary mission of supporting the Third Goal (TG) of the Peace Corps by offering RPCV groups and individuals grants for TG projects.

As Peace Corps Volunteers, Americans live and work side by side for more than two years in developing countries, learning the cultures and languages of the countries they live in and sharing the history and culture of the United States through millions of one on one relationships built since the Peace Corps was established March 1st, 1961 by President John F. Kennedy. The agency’s goals:

1) to help interested countries with their needs for trained men and women;
2) to increase the understanding of Americans on the part of the people served, and
3) to increase the understanding of the peoples served on the part of Americans.

Upon beginning their two years of service, Peace Corps Volunteers take an oath to pursue these goals to the best of his or her abilities.
