Global Volunteerism and the Peace Corps
Are you looking to make your retirement more meaningful and adventurous? After more than 35 years of teaching Sociology in the U.S. and internationally, I realized it was time to put into practice what I had long taught in the classroom. That decision led me to join the Peace Corps and serve in the Philippines from 2024 to 2025.
In this talk, I will share my experiences living and working alongside local communities, supporting a school, and immersing myself in a new culture. I will also reflect on how this journey transformed my perspectives on connection, service, and life.
This experience affirmed that we are deeply interconnected, and that serving communities-wherever they may be-can be one of the most fulfilling and enriching (but not easy) paths, especially in retirement.
Sunghee Nam, is a member of Good Neighbors of Park Slope and we are looking forward to hearing about this experience.
Thank you to Heart of Life United Methodist Church and Pastor Gayle for offering the use of this space.
