Description
Patricia (Pat) Hogan served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Armenia from August 2015 to August 2017 in a community youth development program. She did not consider Peace Corps service until retiring from a career in education and hearing from a colleague about his experience as a volunteer in Poland. In Armenia, Hogan lived with a local family during training and the first few months of her service before moving to her own apartment. Her adjustment to the community was greatly aided by her relationship with the host family, whose daughter continued to tutor Pat and advise her in cultural matters. Hogan primarily worked at the Women's Resource Center in Goris, where the staff tried to get women involved in politics, assist in income generating enterprises, and provide domestic violence education. She also participated in English language education at a local school. The interview concludes with discussion of the Peace Corps' influence on her post-service volunteering. Interviewed and recorded by Julius (Jay) Sztuk, August 3, 2019. 1 digital audio file.
