Peace Corps Plaza

A Place to Recognize Returned Peace Corps Volunteers and their Legacy of National Service

The Peace Corps Legacy Association's Peace Corps Plaza, is part of a National Service Park (NSP), to honor, inspire, and elevate national service. The Peace Corps' contributions to the ideals and rewards of national service are integral to volunteerism, a hallmark of American life and culture.

Returned Peace Corps Volunteers, wherever they served and call home, are invited to share in the creation of the PEACE CORPS PLAZA and to have their names among those honored for their commitment to national service.

"Passing on character from one generation to the next is the greatest gift one can give."

Winston Churchill
