Peace Corps has changed and grown in its 65 years, but volunteers still dedicate themselves to the three original goals: 

1. To help the countries interested meeting their need for trained people.

2. To help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.

3. To help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.

The International Calendar exists to highlight the work of Peace Corps in promoting a more peaceful world and to celebrate the diversity and the commonality of world cultures and peoples. It is the cornerstone of the Third Goal efforts of the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) of Wisconsin-Madison: through compelling photographs, the calendar offers a glimpse into other lives, paving the way for new understanding. 

Along with introducing you to places that volunteers see and experience firsthand, the calendar also funds the donations programs of many RPCV groups. From grants to the Peace Corps Partnership Program (PCPP), which connects PCVs with funding for community-initiated projects, to individual development projects at home and abroad, the calendar has raised more than $1.5 million for good works projects.

We could not generate the resources to support those projects without your support. Your purchase of this calendar makes this work possible and honors the 65 years of Peace Corps. Please click through the links below to explore the 12 countries featured in 2026.

Thank you for your support.

"Peace requires the simple but powerful recognition that what we have in common as human beings is more important and crucial than what divides us."
