Lesley Newman: Peace Corps Volunteer Dominican Republic

Lesley served in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic from 2004-2006. She served as an environmental education volunteer in Sabana Larga, a very small town in the San José de Ocoa province. The goal of the non-profit group she worked with was to help better Dominican and Hatiian relationships by working in the school systems in Haiti and the D.R. Lesley worked with teachers to develop better environmental education modules and also taught English to eighth graders. Lesley is also the UA's Peace Corps Fellows recruiter and describes the application process.
