About Us
The Committee for a Museum of the Peace Corps Experience (CMPCE)
is devoted to sharing the Peace Corps story
with the broader American public.
The museum is not yet a reality, but active support from the national returned volunteer
community will get us there.
We were started in 1999 by a committed group of returned Peace Corps Volunteers
in Portland, Oregon. While most of our members are drawn from
the Portland metro region, involvement is welcome from returned Peace Corps
Volunteers, staff, and supporters all over the world.
We are an associate group of the
National
Peace Corps Association, and we frequently coordinate
our activities with the
Columbia
River Peace Corps Association.
Our Mission
To inspire connection with the world by
sharing the Peace Corps experience
of living among diverse cultures.
