STRUCTURE
The National Peace Corps Association was founded in 1979 and incorporated in 1983 as the national association to connect, inform and engage people impacted or inspired by Peace Corps. It is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization encompassing a network of over 30,000 individuals and more than 140 member groups.
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.
We are citizens who served in communities in more than 134 developing countries since the Peace Corps was created in 1961. That global experience defined our lives and changed our views of the world and of our role in that world. We are teachers, community activists, business leaders, government officials, members of Congress, ambassadors, social entrepreneurs, and other members of the Peace Corps family.
We're Live! The New PEACECORPSCONNECT
On January 20, 2009, the United States celebrates the inauguration of President Barack Obama. In anticipation of President Obama's commitment to support the Peace Corps, we are excited to announce the launch of Peace Corps Connect (powered by NPCA).
This new website will feature a wealth of information on countries, people, events, congressional initiatives, and many additional areas affecting the Peace Corps Community.
The website also will be home to Connected Peace Corps, a unique modern social networking site on which members of the Peace Corps Community (returned, current, and prospective volunteers, friends and family of volunteers, plus academics, international development practitioners, and others who share Peace Corps values), can link up and share data and experiences, work together in groups, and support projects and initiatives around the world.
