The Peace Corps experience doesn't end after 2 years. Once you've been in the Peace Corps, you are connected forever to 200,000 other volunteers who share similar experiences.

If you are a part of the Peace Corps family, then membership in the National Peace Corps Association is important for you! Your membership in NPCA (just $35/year/person) and in any of our 140 member groups ($15/year/person via NPCA) supports the Peace Corps Community, including readjustment resources, networking opportunities, and advocacy initiatives:

• • Complimentary subscription to quarterly WorldView magazine
• • Powerful voice for Peace Corps and for the developing world on Capitol Hill
• • Global education resources to bring a global perspective to U.S. classrooms and communities
• • Continued service to your Peace Corps country of service and/or your local community through member group activities
• • Social networking through our website at community.peacecorpsconnect.org, as well as fan groups on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter
• • Eligibility for $10,000 scholarship at the School for International Training Graduate Institute in Brattleboro, VT
• • RPCV Mentoring Program assisting returning volunteers with their transition from Peace Corps service
• • Investment opportunities through the Calvert Foundation/NPCA Microenterprise Program (MEP) offering global micro-loans
• • Online career center with jobs looking for Peace Corps service
• • Representation in the governing of NPCA through the Board of Directors
• • NPCA credit card and discounts on auto insurance through GEICO

As far as I know NPCA is the single organization in DC that is the eyes and ears of the PC community on the Hill. RPCVs are the voice, but I certainly couldn't follow all the legislative activity on my own - I depend on NPCA to do that for me...NPCA is the one organization dedicated to promoting funding and legislative changes that strengthen Peace Corps. - Don Kramer - Seattle, WA (Armenia, 04-06)

With your NPCA membership, you can instantly find career, educational, and other relevant service resources that meet the unique circumstances of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers, and ensure that these resources continue to be available.
