Live Tonight on Millennium Stage: Stories forge connections. They change minds, touch hearts, and build bridges between individuals and communities. Stories are at the heart of the Peace Corps experience, and they inspire us in service of Peace Corps’ mission of world peace and friendship.

Growing Together: Stories from the Peace Corps will showcase inspirational stories about the connections made by Peace Corps volunteers, staff, and local community members through their experiences with the Peace Corps.

About the Peace Corps:

The Peace Corps is an international service network of volunteers, community members, host country partners, and staff who are driven by the agency’s mission of world peace and friendship. At the invitation of governments around the world, Peace Corps volunteers work alongside community members on locally–prioritized projects in the areas of education, health, environment, agriculture, community economic development, and youth development. Through service, members of the Peace Corps network develop transferable skills and hone intercultural competencies that position them to be the next generation of global leaders. Since President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps in 1961, more than 240,000 Americans have served in 143 countries worldwide.
