Peace Corps and Your Identities Abroad

Description: Once Volunteers arrive at their sites, diversity and inclusion principles remain the same but take on a different shape. You may be in the minority, if not the sole American like you, at your site. You will begin to notice diversity in perspectives, ethnicity, age, gender roles, depth of conversation, and degree of support you may receive—and may need to make adjustments. This will be a session to hear from Returned Volunteers about how you can:

• transcend differences during your time abroad
• find common ground and server as alley for your peers and fellow volunteers
