    Map Projects

    As part of our mission statement, Greater Birmingham RPVCs have working with local schools on map projects for over 15 years. The National Peace Corps Association highlighted our projects in a 2014 blog post, Peace Corps 360: Bringing a Service Project Back to the United States.
