NPCA unifies the Returned Peace Corps Volunteer community and its allies.
In response to community concerns and the hundreds of RPCVS impacted by recent federal cuts, our goal is to unite and activate our community in support and recognition of Peace Corps’ mission, emphasizing its value, both domestically and abroad.
At this critical time, our message is simple:
- International cooperation and humanitarian assistance make our country stronger.
Peace Corps strengthens America through an internationally recognized and emulated program that directly sharpens the skills and international competitiveness of America’s workforce. - Peacebuilding through soft diplomacy makes our country safer.
Through its mission of building intercultural understanding around the world, Peace Corps’ intercultural goals build friendships and mutual understanding, contributing directly to our country’s security. - National Service makes our country more prosperous.
Peace Corps Service unites our country, builds a skilled workforce, encourages entrepreneurship, and instills a patriotic sense of community service.
