Meredith Green served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador from 1967 to 1969. She was known by her married name, Margaret Schroeder, at the time. She and her husband were first stationed in a small coastal community, then later moved to the larger city of Machala. While her husband worked as an engineer, Green had to find her own niche within the community development program. She undertook various activities including teaching women in the community how to make and use steel barrel ovens. She also held classes on nutrition, clean drinking water, prenatal health, and art.
