World Wise Schools

World Wise Schools Correspondence Match Program

The Peace Corps has a dynamic exchange program for U.S. teachers, and you do not even have to leave your classroom! Connect with a Peace Corps Volunteer serving overseas, communicating through an exchange of letters, stories, pictures, souvenirs, and artifacts. The program enriches classrooms enormously and touches the hearts of students and teachers alike. Its effect is life long, and it costs no more than a few pennies' postage.

Volunteers in countries all over the world are waiting to write to teachers and their classrooms in the U.S. Four thousand teachers nationwide are participating. Why not make it 4,001?

To participate, contact the Peace Corps Coverdell World Wise Schools program at wwsinfo@peacecorps.gov.
Classroom teachers can also apply to be matched online at www.peacecorps.gov/wws/correspond.
