About this campaign

The Atlanta Area Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (AARPCV) group, founded in 1983, is committed to positive social action, global education, and community service. AARPCV keeps currently serving volunteers and their host communities close at heart. Through various fundraising campaigns, we've donated tens of thousands of dollars to Peace Corps Partnership grants over the years.



Currently, we are focusing on Peace Corps Partnership grants that fall under the "Let Girls Learn" initiative. Peace Corps is working to expand access to education for adolescent girls around the world. Educating girls is essential to healthy and thriving communities but, globally, 62 million girls are not in school, and barriers to adolescent girls completing school are particularly sigficant. In some countries, fewer than 10% of teenage girls complete secondary school. This program will address that challenge by empowering local leaders to put lasting solutions in place. Peace Corps Volunteers who live and work at the grassroots level will serve as catalysts of community-led change, and every American can get involved and make a difference.
