Advocacy
As with all Federal agencies, the Peace Corps is funded through congress, so organizations like the NPCA must continuously advocate for a robust budget to support the Peace Corps and its mission.
Here's the latest Advocacy updates:
We know there have been a lot of emails this week, but we wanted to share an important update regarding the Peace Corps from Dan Baker, President and CEO of the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA).
Earlier today, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) visited the Peace Corps headquarters in Washington, D.C. One representative was reported on-site, with additional personnel expected tomorrow. NPCA is closely monitoring the situation and will keep you informed as more details emerge. NPCA has created a FAQ page with the most current information available. They have also scheduled Virtual Town Halls on April 9 at 11:00 AM ET and 7:00 PM ET. You can register and find more details here. If you’re interested in setting up a meeting with a congressional office, or would like assistance writing a letter to the editor or an op-ed, please reach out to Paul Thompson at [email protected] or 612-810-4664. |
