Peace Corps Plaza
Imagine a place where the spirit of Peace Corps comes alive, a place that stands as a testament and symbol to the invaluable contributions of volunteers who have dedicated their lives to making the nation and world a better place
The Peace Corps Legacy Association's Peace Corps Plaza, part of a National Service Park (NSP) in Minnesota, will 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

Building a Legacy: 2026 for 2026
PCLA has launched a fundraising campaign to build the Peace Corps Plaza. With an additional 2,026 brick donations by the summer of 2026, we can begin construction and also commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.
PCLA’s new final Plaza basic design has a price tag of approximately $500K. Given the economics of scale constructing the Plaza will require 2026 additional brick donations by the summer of 2026 to initiate construction on America’s 250th anniversary.
Honor your Peace Corps Legacy and establish the Peace Corps Plaza by donating to the Peace Corps Legacy Association. RPCV donors will be recognized by a natural clay brick installed in the Plaza and engraved with their name, city, and state, and host country(s) with their years of service.
Donations of $275 will be recognized with an 8x8 brick with space for 6 lines of text. A donation of $175 will be recognized with a 4x8 brick with space for 3 lines. All lines are a maximum of 20 characters.
PEACE CORPS PLAZA in Minnesota is a national initiative of the Peace Corps Legacy Association in collaboration with the National Peace Corps Association and is the cornerstone of a 3.5-acre National Service Park.
PEACE CORPS PARK in Washington, D.C., (PeaceCorpsPark.org) is a congressionally authorized initiative of the Peace Corps Commemorative Foundation, in collaboration with the U.S. National Park Service, which owns and will maintain the park.
Both projects honor Peace Corps ideals and values, but they are separate in their leadership, locations, and funding. As 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, they rely on voluntary contributions. Donors are encouraged to support both projects.
Building Fund
Along with the 2026 for 2026 campaign PCLA has launched a fundraising campaign to add additional landscaping, and interpretive enhancements to the initial Plaza design. Please see our dedicated Building Fund page for details.
