The Peace Corps and Rotary have a partnership agreement that started in 2015, inspired by a group of Returning Peace Corps Volunteers. The heart of the agreement is that Peace Corps and Rotary have almost identical focuses. Partnering for Peace is committed to developing that partnership agreement at the grass roots level. The organization’s vision is to help Rotarians, current international service volunteers and returned international service volunteers from various countries, to work together on projects that are consistent with the goals of both Rotary and such organizations. Through this collaboration, former Peace Corps volunteers, through Rotary clubs, can continue their international humanitarian service in the local villages and towns where they served.

 

Partnering for Peace, by using our connections, and working through our clubs, hopes to identify former Peace Corps volunteers and their families and the countries where they served. This collaboration will nurture local projects in the volunteer’s former communities, working with the local Rotary Club. These networking activities between Peace Corps families in the US and Rotary clubs, and the offshore Rotary clubs has already resulted in projects benefiting the offshore communities.
