Support Us

Since 1985, supporters of the Peace Corps Fellows Program have been instrumental in providing the resources for over 800 Returned Peace Corps Volunteers to become educators.

Because of their generosity, countless NYC students have benefitted from the opportunity to have a Fellow as a teacher.

To learn more about the program, volunteer your time, and/or visit our teachers at their schools, please contact the director, Amy Nelson (Tel: 212-678-6622).
