NOVA RPCV and RPCV/W invites you to join us for an evening of International Development Professionals and Federal RPCV Storytelling at the Writer’s Center (metro accessible!) in Bethesda, Maryland Saturday evening May 17, 2025!
This event is about honoring International Development Professionals, and other Federal RPCVs impacted by recent changes to the federal government, giving them the voices they were denied. Join us to hear their stories and enjoy being in community.
Do you want to get on stage and tell your story? We will have 10 5-min spots for storytellers. Please sign up here by Friday May 2nd to be considered! Please reach out to us if you want to tell your story but need a little help. Make sure to ALSO RSVP to the event in order to attend even if you signed up to tell your story.
**Note, this is intended to be a safe space for creative expression and as such we will not be recording nor will we have media presence. Please also review our community guidelines.

6:00 – 6:30 PM: Potluck Reception (please bring a snack/appetizer or drink [alcoholic or non] to share, we will provide supplies)
6:30 – 8:00 PM: Storytelling
