The "Third Goal" of the Peace Corps is to bring a global perspective back to the United States. The National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) launched Global TeachNet (GTN) to directly implement that global perspective in U.S. classrooms through:

  • Quarterly newsletter, Global TeachNet
  • Quarterly magazine, WorldView
  • Weekly listserv announcements of global education opportunities in the US and abroad
  • Links to global education organizations and related web sites
  • Kids Around the World, a website created to introduce elementary school-age children in the United States to the lives of children of the same age in developing countries around the world
  • Global Connections, a parnership with The Globalist, which aims to improve the “global literacy” of U.S. high school students and prepare them for the global services economy of the 21st century.
