The Peace Corps Fellows Program at Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy serves returning Peace Corp volunteers (RPCV) who wish to continue making a difference in the world. They are attracted by Milano's foundation of social responsibility and commitment to the study of urban issues, social justice, and the human social dimension of any group. Milano offers a unique experience to RPCVs with a curriculum that advances their knowledge of management and policy issues relevant to serving communities – nonprofit, business, social, economic – and that empowers them with the writing, presentation, analytical, and quantitative skills essential for a successful transition into the post-Peace Corp workforce.
