As my first blog post, I thought I would share the three goals of the Peace Corps and the goals of my program, Rural Community Development. As you can see, this blog fulfills goal number 3!
Peace Corps Goals:
Goal 1: To help the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women
Goal 2: To help promote a better understanding of the American people on the part of the peoples served
Goal 3: To help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of the American people.
Rural Community Development:
Residents of small rural Costa Rican communities will experience improved quality of life through improved organizational development and increased engagement in educational opportunities (or educational enrichment).
Organizational Development: Local Development Associations and community groups will improve skills and practices in organizational management to plan, organize, lead and obtain and coordinate resources to meet community development priorities.
Objectives include: Planning, Organizing, Leadership, Coordinating/managing financial resources, Fundraising and Proposal Writing
Educational Development: Rural community members will expand activities and improve resources to increase access to and quality of educational opportunities.
Objectives include: Strengthening English Skills, Organizing Extra-Curricular Activities, Improving Educational Resources, and Expanding Vocational Education.
