Joseph (Joe) Green III served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Swaziland from 1987 to 1989 on an adult education project. His first experience of living and working in under-served communities came from a volunteer trip to Jamaica in 9th grade. In Swaziland, Green was stationed in Ntfonjeni, where he created trade skill development programs. He describes himself as a Black man returning to Africa and discusses how this led him to unlearn ideas of who and what he was, and to observe the dynamics and value the differences between American and African black families. (He later elaborated on these ideas in his book, "You are Invited to Serve.") Green was part of a select group of Peace Corps alumni invited to participate in the Fellows Program, and he served as Associate Peace Corps Director for the Youth and Urban Education Program in Jamaica from 1991 to 1993. Interviewed and recorded by Charlaine Loriston, October 3, 2019. 2 digital audio files (web streaming files combined into 1 file).
