Whats an RPCV?
“RPCV” stands for Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. (We do like our acronyms in the Peace Corps!) It’s someone who spent a couple of years living in a yurt on the steppes of Mongolia, in a woven-grass tukul in the highlands of Ethiopia, or in a stilt house overlooking the Pacific. A neighbor, friend, relative, co-worker…who did it. Who traveled to the other side of the world to help a community in one of 139 nations where Peace Corps volunteers have served. And who has now returned to the States—but not retired. Because RPCVS continue to serve, continue to share what they learned about life overseas, here at home. Enriching and strengthening our communities. If you know a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, tell him or her about the National Peace Corps Association, and show them this website. If you are an RPCV, join us.
