Between Two Homelands: Growing Up in Korea, Returning as Peace Corps Volunteers
Of the nearly 2000 individuals who served with the Peace Corps in South Korea, there were a handful who were unique-they had lived in Korea as children of missionary families. Unlike the typical volunteer who had to look up exactly where Korea was when they got their invitation letter, these recruits knew Korea intimately-they spoke the language and were familiar with the food and the brutal winters. But was it the same as going home?
Today’s session features three RPCVs who grew up in Korea and returned to serve. What was behind that decision to return to Korea as a volunteer? How was the Korea they knew as children different from what they experienced as a PCV? Were there unique challenges they faced given their childhood experiences in Korea?
The speakers in this session are Donald Clark, Donna Sidwell DeGracia, and Brent Burkholder. They will share their experiences and challenges navigating the Korea they knew from their childhood and the one they experienced as a volunteer.
