| How
We Serve |
| Development
Grants are available to active Peace Corps Volunteers who
have lived in Santa Barbara County or attended school at a local
college, or who apply for a grant through the Peace
Corps Partnership Program. Volunteers may apply for SBPCA
mini-grants to help with projects in their country of service.
To learn more about our program, go to the Mini-Grant
section of this website. |
| Volunteering
This year (2007) we helped staff a water table at the SB Half
Marathon and helped paint the StoryTeller Children's Center
as part of the United Way's Day of Caring. We have also helped
Direct Relief International build community disaster supply
storage units around the Santa Barbara Community and helped
La Casa De La Raza paint its facilities. If
you would like SBPCA to help you with a project please call
Robert Stevens at 805-886-6011 for more information. |

| Potential
Peace Corps Volunteers If you are thinking about joining
the Peace Corps and would like to talk to a returned volunteer
to help make your decision please call Robert Stevens at 805-886-6011.
Robert will put you in touch with someone who can answer your
questions and share their experience. |
| Former
Peace Corps Volunteers Each year we honor Peace Corps Volunteers
returning to our area with a summer barbecue. And throughout
the year recently returned volunteers can network with the members
of our SBPCA community for help with housing, job leads and
fellowship. To find out more please email Rose
Wills. |
| Speakers
Bureau Members of our organization
have spoken and given slide shows about their Peace Corps
experience to schools and community organizations since 1986.
If
you would like someone to share their Peace Corps experience
at your school or organization please visit www.peacecorps.gov/wws/speakersmatch/
Through the Speakers Match site, the NPCA links returned Peace
Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) together with teachers to bring the
Peace Corps cross-cultural experience to students throughout
the United States.
