INLAND NORTHWEST PEACE
CORPS ASSOCIATION
The
Inland Northwest Peace Corps Association (INPCA) is an organization of
returned Peace Corps Volunteers, staff, and supporters living in
Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. Pursuant to the third goal of
the Peace Corps, Bringing the World Back Home, we gather from
diverse points with the common bond of having served abroad in the
Peace Corps. We share our experiences with each other, with those
leaving for overseas assignments, and with our communities to help
Americans understand people and cultures outside our own. We
have
meetings and activities throughout the year to socialize, meet other
RPCVs, contribute to our communities, support overseas efforts, and
network. We try to meet at lease once every three month.
These
are opportunities to meet other RPCVs and see presentations about the
overseas experiences of others. Oftentimes people from our host
countries join us for sharing and remembrances. This is an opportunity
for making friends and even a little networking.
Serving: Eastern Washington; Northern Idaho
