Sa wa Dee Kah, Kam na bane ni Mauri, and Hello!

We welcome you to Peace Corps Connect 2025: Reimagining National Service; Building Bridges at Home and Abroad at American University's Washington College of Law. As your co-chairs, we—Mike Roman and Tracy Haugen—are honored to bring together RPCVs, friends, and global changemakers for this transformative gathering.

This year's conference brings together thought leaders, changemakers, and advocates to explore innovative solutions to pressing social challenges. As the first in-person summit since 2019, it offers a unique opportunity to foster dialogue, build connections, and inspire action. Through dynamic speakers, interactive discussions, and collaborative workshops, we aim to empower participants to drive meaningful change in their communities and beyond.

Whether you're here to share stories, exchange ideas, or forge new partnerships, Peace Corps Connect 2025 is your space to belong, reflect, and lead. Together, we will strengthen our shared commitment to service and advocacy as we explore the path forward for the Peace Corps community and our role in shaping a better world.
