ABOUT CAMP GLOW
"Camp GLOW is a stellar example of the legacy of Peace Corps service. The first such camp was established by Peace Corps Volunteers in Romania 15 years ago. Since 1995, Volunteers in 60 countries have established similar programs to promote the empowerment of women. The concept has been adapted and developed since originally conceived, with one group of Volunteers passing along the lessons learned to the next group of Volunteers who serve as counselors and mentors.
Individual Camp GLOW programs are unique and allow Peace Corps Volunteers the flexibility to shape a program to address specific challenges young women face in their local communities. Some camps address issues like malaria and HIV/AIDS prevention and education, while others stress tolerance and self-esteem, equipping young women to deal with difficult decisions and promoting healthy living.
