What We Do

Carry out the third goal of Peace Corps--

--Bringing the World Back Home by...

• Guest speak in schools, civic organizations and Peace Corps recruiting functions
• Raise money for various local and overseas projects that help fulfill the goals of Peace Corps, i.e,  to help people become self-sufficient and able to excel where ever they may live.
• Participate at the International Festival and Community Festival in Columbus
• Meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month to offer support to newly returned volunteers and friendship to former volunteers who live in central Ohio. Meetings alternate between a potluck at a CORVA member's house and an ethnic restaurant.
• Help spread the word about National Peace Corps Association and the work they do in Peace Corps advocacy.

 We are also affiliated with the National Peace Corps Association  (NPCA).
