Let us point you to the right resources
One of our missions at the National Peace Corps Association is to link you with the right resources if you’ve served as a Peace Corps Volunteer. If you don’t find the information that you need on our website, you can create a profile on the NPCA Ning Online Community to meet others online who can help you.
One of the very best sources of information about the Peace Corps community is our monthly electronic newsletter. The newsletter is a member and associate benefit. You must sign up to receive this news and stay current on what’s happening at NPCA.
We help returned Peace Corps volunteers form mentor/mentee relationships around the country. If you’re looking for a way to “give back” without leaving your local area, sign up to be a mentor. Sometimes you can communicate just via phone and email, so it’s worth checking out even if you don’t think that you live in the same region as your potential mentor or mentee.
We also offer teaching and education resources for those who want to speak in classrooms about their experience living overseas, or teach students about other countries and cultures. The Peace Corps perspective is highly unique because volunteers live with local families in their respective countries. Take advantage of the lesson plans for our WorldView magazine and engage students with the discussion questions.
Many of us want to continue volunteering for life. That’s why we have listed various service opportunities for you that we think interest Peace Corps volunteers.
The Volunteer Safety & Security resources page outlines the resources offered by Peace Corps for those volunteers who have experienced any form of assault during their service. Read a letter that NPCA received from Director Aaron Williams expressing the steps that Peace Corps is taking to improve support for volunteers.
If you are looking for information about the 50th Anniversary of the Peace Corps, check out our list of updated events. There will be lots more to come on this website so we urge you to check back regularly.
Use these resources and let us know if there are others that would be helpful for us to include here. We welcome your input.
