You are here Feb. 25, 2021
Clintandra Thompson attended Howard University and was a Community Economic Development (CED) Volunteer in Senegal from 2012 – 2014. After her returning from service, she founded Adopt a Black Peace Corps Volunteer, through which Black returned Peace Corps Volunteers support Black Volunteers during their service by sending cards, care packages, text messages, and more. We caught up with her over Zoom to learn about her Peace Corps experience, how it has impacted her life after service, and the story behind the organization she created.
