With a Peace Corps Volunteer

L

ink up with a Peace Corps
Volunteer working overseas at the
grassroots level who will correspond
with your students!
Whatever your grade level, area of
expertise, or geographic preference,
there is a Peace Corps Volunteer who is
ready to share stories, artifacts, photos,
and more with your students. Some
classrooms write a letter every few
months; others correspond through
weekly e-mails. All classrooms can
augment the Volunteer experience with
our award-winning, standards-based
materials.

The possibilities are as vast as you
want to make them. The cost is as
little as a postage stamp—or less.
