U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, and Peace Corps Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet will discuss volunteer opportunities for people of all ages 2:30 p.m. Sept. 16 at the San Mateo City Hall.
They will be joined by Matt Joseph, a returned Peace Corps volunteer who recently completed his two-year assignment in Moldova.
“Whether you are a baby boomer like Matt Joseph or a recent college graduate, there are ample opportunities to do good and meaningful work in the world,” Speier said in a press release. “At this event, we want to encourage people to embrace the spirit of national service, a spirit that was so famously expressed by the man who established the Peace Corps, President John F. Kennedy, when he said: ‘Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.’”
The event will include a question and answer session followed by a reception that will allow those in attendance an opportunity to speak one on one with Peace Corps volunteers and staff. San Mateo City Hall is at 330 W. 20th Ave.
