This group was formed for Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) to connect with each other. Activities of the group include social and recreational as well as educational (pursuit of Peace Corps third goal to promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans, provide a resource for individuals considering service in the Peace Corps and mentor recently returned volunteers). This group is centered in northwestern New Jersey and is not a formal part of any other RPCV organization (state or nationwide) although communication and interaction with other RPCVs outside our area is an important part of the group's purpose as well.
