"A Seed Planted in Far Rockaway"
On August.30, 2002 MPCA members Carmenza Cespedes (Panama 98-00) and Brian Harris (Honduras 97-99) gave an educational seminar to the Alive Ministry's youth group located in Far Rockaway, Queens,  NY.  The seminar covered the basics of debt management and the Peace Corps.  The group of 30 bright youth, who were predominantly African American, ranged in ages from 5-20 years old.  However the age gap didn't interfere with the ability of the entire audience of capturing the importance of managing debt in the future and the wonderful opportunity of serving in the Peace Corps.  The youth was especially impressed when Brian demonstrated his Spanish language skills when he and Carmenza purposely shifted languages in the middles of his presentation.  At the end, the evening was enjoyed by everyone with Carmenza and Brian being extremely impressed by the energy, dedication and talent of the youth present.
Welcome to the Minority Peace Corps Association (MPCA) Community page.  We are dedicated to raising awareness in minority communities about Peace Corps and its many programs. 
Through partnerships, special events and outreach activities the MPCA strives to strengthen Americans' understanding about the world and its peoples. The MPCA is also committed to lending its support to minorities involved with Peace Corps, including applicants, volunteers and their families and returned volunteers.
