About Us:
The Columbia River Peace Corps Association (CRPCA) is an affiliate group of the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA). While most of our members are drawn from the RPCV community of the Portland - Vancouver metro area, membership is open to returned Peace Corps Volunteers, staff, and supporters living throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington. Members range from newly returned RPCVs to some of the first volunteers who served with the Peace Corps in the 1960's. Likewise, some members get involved their first month back in the US and others decide to sign up years later. We welcome you all. We strongly believe in the third goal of the Peace Corps, "Bringing the World Back Home," and we work to fulfill it through our speakers bureau and related activities. Although we have finished our Peace Corps assignments, we will always be Peace Corps Volunteers. Our job now is to help other Americans better understand the people and cultures of the developing countries in which Peace Corps Volunteers have served.

A Note:
To prospective Peace Corps Volunteers, parents, relatives, and friends of active Peace Corps Volunteers: You're welcome to join us at our events. This is a way for you to meet returned volunteers, ask questions, get opinions, and find out about the conditions of life and the countries in which Peace Corps Volunteers serve.
