Desert Doves is a non-profit organization of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs). While we are based in Tucson, our membership is open to anyone located throughout Southern Arizona.
Our mission is to continue to work for world peace, understanding, and well-being, with an emphasis on bringing the world back home. We offer community service events, social networking, and financial support to community development efforts abroad and across Southern Arizona. Since 2011, the Desert Doves have engaged over 300 local RPCVs and donated more than $42,000 to community projects.
