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.
