Columbia River Peace Corps Association

Serving our community. Engaging the world.

CRPCA Members:
Please respond to our Summer 2009 member survey.

From the Pacific Ocean to the Columbia Gorge,
from the Portland-Vancouver metro area to the mid-Willamette Valley...

We are your resource!

Returned Peace Corps Volunteers - You will likely approach CRPCA with the aim of connecting with other Peace Corps people in your community. If you're in your first year back from Peace Corps service, consider signing up for an RPCV mentor. As you participate in our activities, you will find that our group is an incubator of ideas for making our world a better place. You may be drawn to contribute to our outreach and/or service initiatives. You'll find our events very welcoming to your family.

Future Peace Corps Volunteers, family and friends - We collaborate with the Peace Corps recruiting office on several annual events, but you are welcome at all of our gatherings. You will learn much about the Peace Corps experience from chatting with those who have served. In fact, there's really no substitute for it.

Currently serving Peace Corps Volunteers - You are eligible for free membership while serving; just leave us with your e-mail address. As you identify the needs in your community, keep in mind that a good chunk of the small grants we award each year are to Oregon/Washington volunteer projects. We hope you'll consider submitting text and/or photos for publication in our newsletter.

All who inhabit NW Oregon and SW Washington - You may be a teacher seeking a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer to speak about some aspect of their experience. If your local nonprofit is doing international work, we invite you to inquire with us about small grants that we award throughout the year. All community leaders are invited to publicize international-focused events and initiatives to our members.

We invite you to learn more about CRPCA using the menu at the bottom of each page.
