Two New Classroom Resources for Educators 🌎

The Peace Corps and Discovery Education created Global Learners, a free digital program with classroom resources that explore global cultures and community through real Peace Corps stories.

Two new lesson bundles are now available:
😀 Exploring Happiness across the Globe
✍🏽 Building Future Ready Skills with Peace Corps Volunteers

These resources are designed to help educators bring global perspectives into the classroom with ready-to-use lessons based on real-world examples.

Building a more peaceful, healthy, and mutually respectful world begins at the level of personal interactions. Peace Corps Volunteers not only work alongside communities as partners and learners, but act as emissaries for their own communities here in the United States in each one-on-one interaction...

Let's join Peace Corps Volunteer Cristina and her environmental club members as they check in on their garden.
"The plants were donated to the school by the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI), and the children have taken up caring for and watering them." 🌱

A good neighbor welcomes you in, invites you over for a cup of tea, and treats you like you belong. That spirit matters in the Peace Corps. It's how Volunteers build trust over time, find their footing, and begin the work they came to do.

Volunteer Josiah and his neighbors Rebecca and Gina remind us that small acts of kindness and service matter as they support each other in preparing to share a meal. Invite us over next time!

"In order to create more excitement around reading, I’ve been holding reading games in the library during break times. It has been fun to infuse my love of games into reading. The pupils particularly love the keyword pass game where I read a story and they must pass the ball when they hear the designated keyword (given prior to reading the story). It helps them practice their listening skills and lets them be active and be well engaged in the story." 📚📖 - Peace Corps Volunteer Georgia

"In Guyana, Easter is one of the many national holidays. While a Christian holiday, Guyanese of other faiths also celebrate and take part in the activities, especially kite flying and picnics on Easter Monday. Before the holiday break, my school hosted a "Literacy Hat Show” to promote reading and communication. Following the theme of combining Easter and literacy, I read a story to my students, who then answered questions and completed a worksheet to practice their comprehension of the story. Afterward, they colored their own easter eggs to display!" - 🎨📚📖 - Peace Corps Volunteer Anneliese
