Monday, November 11 at 09:00 AM Food & Friends
Join RPCV/W this Veterans Day and help prepare warm meals for neighbors living with life-challenging illnesses.
Food & Friends was founded in 1988 by a small group of volunteers, and volunteers remain at the heart of their operation. They depend on thousands of volunteers to carry out their mission of delivering specialized, nutritious meals and groceries along with nutrition counseling to men, women and children facing HIV/AIDS, cancer and other serious illnesses.
Wednesday, November 13 at 05:30 PM National Press Building
Interested in advancing international development? Want to put your cross-cultural skills to work?
Come join us for a panel discussion with current USAID employees and recruiters from the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI), Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA), and the Office of Food for Peace (FFP) who will discuss career paths and opportunities in the U.S. government and international development. Panelists will share their personal experiences, answer questions about their respective sectors, and provide advice on how to pursue futures in international development and government as a personal services contractor. The discussion will be moderator led, then open to the audience for Q&A. Following the event, there will be informal networking and a happy hour. See below for panelist organizations and information. This event is open to all RPCV/W Members and non-Members.
