The Speakers Match program connects an
educator and his or her students in the United States with a
Returned Peace Corps Volunteer who presents his or her overseas
experience to the teacher's students. The interaction between the
returned Volunteer, the teacher, and his or her students is used to
foster classroom activities and learning experiences relating to
the Volunteer's country of service and the Peace Corps. In order to
match a teacher with a returned Volunteer, World Wise Schools
requests basic information, such as address, email address, grade
level, number of students, and type of speaking event, on the
Speakers Match Online Request Form. This form is available on the
Peace Corps Coverdell World Wise Schools website under the Speakers
Match section.
