The Sacramento Valley Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (SVRPCV) is a nonprofit organization composed principally of former Peace Corps Volunteers living in California’s Sacramento Valley. Membership is also open to host country nationals and anyone who shares our interests in international understanding, community service, and the ideals of the Peace Corps.
Our communications distribution reaches more than 800 individuals, primarily throughout the communities of Davis, Sacramento, the Sierra foothills, Oroville, and Stockton. Our members have served in more than 60 countries around the world.
As an affiliate of the National Peace Corps Association, we help Returned Peace Corps Volunteers stay connected with one another and with today’s Peace Corps while advancing the Peace Corps’ Third Goal: bringing the world back home and promoting a better understanding of other peoples and cultures among Americans.
We distribute regular email newsletters featuring local events, coordinate community service and volunteer activities, support development projects around the world through our grants program, and organize social gatherings, including our monthly Adventures in Dining (first Friday) and Social Hour (third Friday).
We welcome recently returned Volunteers, longtime RPCVs, prospective Peace Corps applicants, and community members who share our commitment to international friendship, service, and cultural understanding.
