Theme: Protect the Peace Corps
For over 40 years, NPCA has successfully advocated for the Peace Corps and it has endured many political changes, but there is no guarantee that the Peace Corps as we knew it will continue. The Peace Corps has endured many political changes, but now we are in an unprecedented and uncertain political environment. If you believe that the experience you had in the Peace Corps should be available for the next generation, we need your help now. Also, in collaboration with the Peace Corps agency, NPCA is proud to champion the “Each One, Reach One” campaign. This initiative encourages all Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) to personally inspire one new individual to apply for Peace Corps service. By protecting the Peace Corps and holding the door open for new Volunteers, we not only preserve its legacy but also empower a new generation to embark on this life-changing journey.
