Describing the National Peace Corps Association

Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) is the nation’s leading 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization connecting and championing Returned Peace Corps Volunteers and the Peace Corps community. It provides service and education opportunities that build on the Peace Corps experience, and is also the longest-standing advocate for an independent and robust Peace Corps. To learn more, visit http://www.PeaceCorpsConnect.org.

The National Peace Corps Association is separate from the United States Peace Corps, which is a federal agency.  Additional information about the NPCA can be found in the About Us section of our website, as well as the History, Advocacy, Advocacy Victories, Resources, and FAQ pages.

Guidelines for Using NPCA Logos

“National Peace Corps Association,” the NPCA logo and tagline (“The Next Step in Changing the World™ “) are trademarks of the National Peace Corps Association. The logo may not be used to sell, endorse or promote products, causes or events that do not align with the mission of the NPCA. If you have questions, please contact Erica Burman at news @ peacecorpsconnect.org

  • NPCA logos should always be surrounded by adequate clear space. (Clear space refers to the minimum amount of space around the logo which should be left free of any other type, graphics, lines, or borders.) The rule of measurement for clear space around the NPCA logo is the height of the letter “N” in “National” (proportionate to the size of the logo.)
  • The logo should always be sized proportionately.Never stretch the logo either horizontally or vertically.
  • Never alter the relationship of the elements of the logo.
  • Never place the logo on a background that is too dark or that clashes with the colors.
  • Never place the logo on a background that is too complex.
  • Never interrupt the clear space with other elements.
  • Never place the logo in a box or shape that does not abide by the minimum clear space.
