Lillian Carter Award

On an biennial basis, the Peace Corps recognizes an outstanding senior RPCV who demonstrates a commitment to the Peace Corps' third goal. This prestigious award is in memory of Miss Lillian Carter, who served in the Peace Corps as a senior in the 1960s.

Returned Peace Corps Volunteers who served as a senior (age 50 and older) are eligible to be nominated. The selection committee consists of a Carter family representative, three returned Peace Corps Volunteers, a former Lillian Carter Award recipient, and one Peace Corps employee. The award recipient must be present at the ceremony to receive the award.
