This Expo is a collaborative effort involving the National Peace Corps Association, the Peace Corps Regional Recruitment Office in Dallas, TX and the New Mexico Peace Corps Association. One of a series of 50th anniversary expos held around the country in 2011, this Expo will highlight the work of the Peace Corps over the past 50 years, while seeking to engage RPCVs and inspire the next generation of volunteers. The Expo will be a featured component of the Santa Fe Folk Art Market. Preregistration is not required, but encouraged. Please assist us in our planning by registering here.
