• Pass the Peace Corps Reauthorization Act

"It has been more than twenty years since Congress has reauthorized the Peace Corps Act. In 2022, National Peace Corps Association’s top priority is to see Congress pass the Peace Corps Reauthorization Act, comprehensive legislation that seeks to address longstanding proposals for reforms and more recent initiatives to bring further improvements to service and its impact for the next generation of Volunteers and the communities where they serve. A number of these provisions are found in NPCA’s Peace Corps Connect to the Future report."

Take Action to reauthorize Peace Corps here.

• Funding for the Peace Corps

The Peace Corps’ budget amounts to less than 1% of the U.S. International Affairs Budget, which itself is less than 1% of all federal spending. The annual appropriation for the Peace Corps has been flat for the past six years. With Peace Corps Volunteers returning to service, and numerous improvements and reforms needed, we can’t afford a seventh consecutive year of flat funding.



Take Action to fund the Peace Corps budget here.
