Get ready to celebrate the first annual Rotary – Peace Corps Week this September 20-26th! It will provide an opportunity for members of both organizations to learn more about the formal partnership (first established in 2015).
The partnership encourages collaboration, leveraging of each organizations’ efforts and resources, and the co-creation of projects that will have an even greater impact. You can hear a brief introduction for the event from the General Secretary of RI, John Hewko, here at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6_ol0CLc61.
