As the go-to resource for the dynamic and vibrant Peace Corps community, NPCA relies on your generous gifts to ensure programming that responds to our members needs and interests.
In service to our community, NPCA strives to:
- catalyze the timely effort to find the 230,000+ members of our Community (work started during the 50th Anniversary)
- host more frequent gatherings/events outside of Washington, DC to help unite the community around common purposes and projects
- provide additional advocacy opportunities to support the values of the Peace Corps
- offer unique programming such as Encore—short term volunteer assignments, and Africa Rural Connect—social networking designed to assist subsistence farmers in sub-Saharan Africa.
Please join us in providing the support necessary to allow NPCA to help our community members take the next step in changing the world.
