Grants are available through our mini-grant program.
Active Peace Corps Volunteers who have lived in Santa Barbara
County or attended school at a local college may apply for SBPCA
mini-grants to help with projects in their country of service.
To learn more about our program, go to the Mini-Grant
section of this website. We
also periodically fund projects through through the Peace
Corps Partnership Program. |

Volunteering
Recently we have participated in United
Way's Day of Caring. In 2008
we helped paint and clean the Eastside
Dental Clinic. In 2007 we helped paint the StoryTeller
Children's Center. We have also helped Direct
Relief International build community disaster supply storage
units around the Santa Barbara Community, paint facilities at
La Casa De La Raza and staff the water table at the SB Half
Marathon. If
you would like SBPCA to help you with a project please email
Victoria for more information. |

| Future
Peace Corps Volunteers Thinking about joining the
Peace Corps? Talking to a returned Volunteer can help you make
a decision. Please email
Naomi, who will put you in touch with someone who can answer
your questions and share their experience. |
| Returned
Peace Corps Volunteers Each year we honor Returned
Peace Corps Volunteers with a summer barbecue. And throughout
the year recently returned volunteers can network with the members
of our SBPCA community for help with housing, job leads and
fellowship. To find out more please email
Naomi. You may also contact the Mentoring
Program to be matched with a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer
in your area who can help you transition back into the American
rat race. |
| Speakers

Corps experience to schools and community organizations since
1986. If

Match. Through the Speakers Match site, the NPCA links
Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) together with teachers
