100 House Parties, September 6, 2008

On September 6, 2008, the MorePeaceCorps campaign will be throwing 100 House Parties across the United States. Our goal is to build a bigger, better, bolder Peace Corps – one that is doubled in budget and worldwide volunteer base by 2011, the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps.  With 110 parties confirmed as of August 30, we are well on our way!  Thank you!

Can you help us achieve this goal?

We are asking local MorePeaceCorps volunteers on the ground to rally their communities in support of this crucial campaign. September 6th is a night for supporters of MorePeaceCorps to gather with returned and prospective Peace Corps volunteers, friends, and family, for drinks, snacks, dancing, movie screenings, letter-writing and live music.

There are numerous ways to help us out, whether by hosting a party, arranging for donations, coordinating publicity, writing letters and/or op-ed pieces, or simply attending your local house party!

Are you a natural-born leader? Become an official MorePeaceCorps local organizer. We will send you a house party organizer’s kit, connect you with volunteers in your area, and plug you into our website.

The success of 100 House Parties is essential to catapulting our campaign forward.
We need your help to make this happen!

It's easy to get involved.
