At Peace Corps Connect 2025, the panel “Reimagining Belonging in the Peace Corps: Inclusion, Identity, and Impact” brought a deeply resonant and transformative conversation to the forefront of national service. His insights highlighted not only the need for accessibility in national service but also the transformative power of adaptive leadership and inclusive design. Her reflections on creating space for silenced voices were a call to reimagine what national service can be when it centers liberation over conformity. The panel called on Peace Corps and allied service institutions to move from performative inclusion to structural transformation. Their message was clear: building bridges at home and abroad begins by validating every volunteer’s full humanity.
