SUGGESTIONS FOR STORY CREATION

You do not need to be a seasoned writer. Every PCV has stories to tell. Try to collect your ideas on one or two pages. Our curators will help you edit a final draft for posting on the Museum website.

Please address these questions in 600-700 words.
- How did you first encounter the object?
- In what ways did the object help you serve? How were you or the people around you changed by your service?
- What was the object’s symbolic or practical cultural significance?
- Describe an event or experience connected with your service—whether happy, sad, strange, or other.
Please review these articles about Micro-Memoirs and Peace Corps Themes before writing your story.
When your Story Draft is complete, please upload it here. Use .doc or .docx (Word) or .txt (Rich Text).
