The people of Micronesia/US Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) hosted Peace Corps Volunteers starting in 1967 in the then named districts: Marshall Islands, Ponapae, Truk, Northern Mariana Islands (NMI), Yap, & Palau. In 1978 the NMI became a US Commonwealth and PC ceased sending PCVs to the CNMI.
This site shares content as provided by PCVs/staff/trainers who served between 1967 and 1978. The site was founded in 2016 by Kit Porter Van Meter, NMI PCV, to share her photos with the people of Rota where she lived from 1967-1969. With support from Micronesia PC volunteers/staff/trainers, friends and the Northern Marianas Humanities Council the site now includes stories, remembrances, photos, videos, audio, Youtube stories, documents, art, articles & reports related to PC in Micronesia.
Additional documents & content related to Micronesia and Oceania are in KPV Collection.
