Sharing your Stories

There are many opportunities for Returned Peace Corps Volunteers to share their experiences in Iowa City and Eastern Iowa. The UI Peace Corps Representative seeks volunteers to:

• share their experiences at monthly information sessions and on panels
• staff Peace Corps information tables at various events
• speak with individual applicants preparing for service
• attend send-off parties to congratulate and support soon-to-be volunteers

Please email the UI Peace Corps representative at peacecorps@uiowa.edu [1] to introduce yourself and let her know with what activities you are willing to be involved.
