Mission:
Our mission is to "Lead the Peace Corps community and others to foster peace by working together in service, education and advocacy."
We are citizens who served in communities in more than 138 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.
The National Peace Corps Association (formerly the National Council of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers) was founded in 1979 and incorporated in 1983 as the national association for the people who have served as volunteers and staff in the Peace Corps. The NPCA also welcomes the families and friends of the Peace Corps community to join as associate members. It is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with over 7,000 members and over 135 affiliated groups.
The NPCA and its affiliate groups produce global education programs and advocacy campaigns, and they 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.
