National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) is a North American nonprofit organization supporting the Peace Corps Agency community. Founded in 1979, the NPCA is headquartered in Washington, D.C., United States[1]
The National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) maintains a database comprising around 150,000 records of volunteers,[2] including figures such as the Peace Corps' founder, John F. Kennedy, and individuals from host countries.[3] The NPCA has historically provided advisory support to Peace Corps volunteers. Its stated objectives include fostering a commitment to the global ideals of the Peace Corps community and advocating for the enhancement and expansion of the U.S. Peace Corps initiative. [4]
According to the Peace Corps mission statement, those ideals entail promoting "world peace and friendship by fulfilling three goals:
- To help the countries interested in meeting their need for trained people.
- To help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.
- To help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans."[5]
