RPCVHI Community Activities

RPCVHI shares information about many community activities with its members.  In the past, RPCVHI has participated in Earth Day events, beach Clean up events, and packing school supplies for needy children.

RPCVHI members have partnered with local Rotary organizations as part of the Peace Corps/Rotary Partnering for Peace national program. On Oahu, Rotarians and RPCVs worked at Castle High School's Butterfly garden.  In 2022 and 20233, Hilo Rotary members and RPCVs installed a Peace Poles at the Hilo airport- one at the outside entrance and the other in the inside atrium. 

On Oahu, RPCVs have helped to clean up a small, Ukrainian Orthodox church, which will hopefully become a center for the Ukrainian community on Oahu.

RPCVHI members have participated in the  Annual Language and Cultural Festival at Moanalua High School on Oahu since 2019.  Moanalua High School has the largest second language program in Oahu and RPCVs are invited to share their use of a second ( or even a third) language in their volunteer work overseas.  RPCVs participate as judges for students who give speeches.
