Subject: Peace Corps Applicant or Invitee? We Need Your Help!
As our MorePeaceCorps campaign continues to make the case for additional funds to support the Peace Corps, we continue to face a very uphill battle. But you can help, and it only takes a couple of paragraphs.
We are collecting brief testimonies from those who are applying to Peace Corps, thinking about applying or awaiting assignment. We want to provide lawmakers and other leaders with profiles of some of the people who want to serve our nation as Peace Corps volunteers.
If you are willing, please craft a one or two or three paragraph update sharing your status and your situation and why more support for Peace Corps is critical. If you are thinking about joining, but have not applied, a brief statement on why Peace Corps is important and your desire to someday serve. If you are in the application process or are an invitee, please share your status and how additional funding might help you fulfill your goal. Let your passion flow!
Please send these testimonies to jonathan@
http://www.facebook.com/l/;peacecorpsconnect.org Include your current residence with your message.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR THOSE IN DC, VA OR MD: We are seeking some of you in the metro DC area to help with possible speaking and/or advocacy activities. If interested, please contact us immediately by the email above, or by calling 202-293-7728, x-21
Thank you so much for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Pearson
National Peace Corps Association
