2012 Partnership for Peace
Every year, RPCV/W honors a different Washington-area community service organization with a mission that supports the Peace Corps' Third Goal.
This year's Partner for Peace is
Language ETC is a community-based program offering English and literacy training to low-income adult immigrants in the greater Washington area since 1993.
In addition to an award of $2,000 raised at the 2011 Holiday Party's silent auction, RPCV/W is partnering with Language ETC for shared events that promote Peace Corps' Third Goal.
Join us on May 12 and share your language skills from your country of service with their volunteer teachers. Teach the language of your host country for an hour, the more obscure, the better!
By helping their teachers learn a different language, you improve the skills of Language ETC's dedicated team of volunteers in their work with immigrants from around the world.
