Published by National Peace Corps Association, WorldView is a winner of both an EDDIE and OZZIE in the 2021 awards. WorldView earned EDDIE top honors for a series of articles in the Summer 2020 edition that tell the stories of Peace Corps Volunteers who were evacuated from around the world in 2020. The series captures the Volunteer experiences and the communities in which they were serving, and the unfinished business they left behind.
