The Office of Third Goal and Returned
Volunteer Services's Correspondence Match program connects an
educator with a Peace Corps Volunteer serving overseas. The
correspondence between the Volunteer, the educator, 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 participate in the program and be matched
with a Volunteer, the educator must complete the Correspondence
Match Educator Enrollment Form. The Correspondence Match Educator
Enrollment Form is the first point of contact with the
participating educator. It is the fundamental source of information
from educators interested in participating in the Correspondence
Match program. The information is used to make a suitable match
between the educator and a Peace Corps Volunteer serving
overseas.
There is an increase in the
Total Cost to Federal Government due to a miscalculation in the
2010 estimate. Also the number of responses went down from 10, 00
to 3, 000 because fewer teacherd are currently signing up for the
program.
