What We Do

The Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Hawai'i  (RPCVHI) connects  RPCVs living in Hawai'i through our website, ongoing activities, and Facebook page.  We offer opportunities to socialize and to participate in  local activities that align with Peace Corps' Third Goal- to bring the world home.
