Peace Corps Connect – Boston 2013
Join us for the National Peace Corps Association’s second annual gathering: Peace Corps Connect – Boston 2013.
We invite you all to Boston, Massachusetts on the weekend of June 28-29, 2013 for an event that will encourage you to continue “bringing the world back home” while visiting with friends and having fun.
Since this is for the Peace Corps community, key elements of this event will be highly interactive and incorporate career networking and knowledge-sharing. By bringing our collective experiences together can support each other and help to solve important development challenges.
Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter using hashtag #PCCBOS13
