About the National Peace Corps Association
The National Peace Corps Association is committed to leading the Peace Corps Community and others to connect, inform and engage with each other through service, education, and advocacy. Since its founding in 1979, NPCA has helped individuals build upon and extend the Peace Corps experience and values by facilitating their engagement in the global community. Africa Rural Connect is an extension of the NPCA’s efforts to bridge connections among current and returned Peace Corps Volunteers and the people of the African countries in which they served.
The NPCA also hosts Connected Peace Corps, an online community especially for people who served in and support the Peace Corps.
The NPCA and its member groups produce global education programs and advocacy campaigns, and provide community, national and international services. It is governed by a board of directors, and is managed by a professional staff with headquarters in Washington, DC. It is not a part of the United States Peace Corps, which is a federal agency.
