Women of Peace Corps Legacy (WPCL) is an organization committed to empowering women and girls worldwide and fostering a more just, equitable, inclusive, and safe world for future generations. Believing that sustainable progress comes from collective efforts, WPCL partners with organizations making meaningful impacts, amplifying their voices and extending their reach. As a unifying force for women whose lives have been shaped by the Peace Corps—current volunteers, returned volunteers, and the communities they’ve engaged with—WPCL works to strengthen connections and create opportunities that drive lasting change.
Guided by core values of community, empowerment, intergenerational collaboration, and celebration, WPCL brings its mission to life through initiatives that inspire, support, and uplift. The “Extra-Ordinary Women” podcast highlights the journeys of women leaders, sharing their challenges and triumphs to motivate others. The Mentorship Program fosters intergenerational knowledge-sharing, pairing emerging leaders with experienced professionals in the Peace Corps community to provide guidance and career support. WPCL also recognizes outstanding contributions through the Deborah Harding Woman of Achievement Award and the Kate Raftery Emerging Leader Award, which honor women who make significant impacts in the lives of women and girls.
