What Makes RPCVs@EPA Special?
As Peace Corps Volunteers we dedicated a part of our lives to international ecological, economic, and social development, and that commitment to service continues today as employees of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Our background as Peace Corps Volunteers adds to the rich diversity of the EPA and contributes vast cultural, linguistic, international, and institutional experiences. RPCVs@EPA members are in the unique position to be advocates for the environment, advocates for peace, advocates for cultural understanding and cooperation, and advocates for public service.
