Why Peace Corps Matters in Philly
By Jonathan Pearson on Tuesday, May 24th, 2011
As an advocate for a bigger, better and bolder Peace Corps, one question you need to prepare for is “Why does Peace Corps matter?”
That’s a question we posed to some of the attendees at the most recent 50th Anniversary Around the World Expo, held May 22nd at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Watch this three minute video to hear some of the responses.
The Philadelphia gathering was the sixth Around the World Expo so far this year, a collaborative effort between NPCA, local member groups and Peace Corps Regional Recruitment Offices. Read this article in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Macedonia nominee Lew Hemmer was inspired to blog about the Expo and you can read his account here.

Three remaining Expos will be held in Sacramento, San Diego and Santa Fe.
