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.
