If the words Peace Corps only conjures up images of twentysomethings working in rural villages, think again. While today's Peace Corps still recruits college-aged adults, energy and effort is now being used to recruit Boomers because of our experience and wisdom. As organizers put it, "the end of work can be the beginning of adventure. With a public service twist." Join me for a conversation with two Peace Corps volunteers (one who returned to the field when she was 64 years old) about the Corps' 46 year history and its mission today.
