In 2011 Peace Corps celebrated its 50th anniversary. To commemorate these 50 years of service and honor the individuals who have dedicated themselves to promoting the organization's mission of world peace and friendship, the Peace Corps organized events and exhibitions in cities across the U.S. and in each country where Peace Corps currently serves.

Our local RPCV group coordinated special events to celebrate the achievements of the past 50 years as we embark on the next 50.
