WELCOME TO THE LPCA WEBSITE  
The only place in Louisiana where everyone understands your story!!!

 

 

Share your experience. Get Connected through LPCA. 

Join LPCA Now…It’s FREE!!!

 

The LPCA does not want to see any RPCV left in the dark about all the great events that will be coming up for the 50th Anniversary. In fact, we do not want you left out of any regular activities. So we are waiving any membership dues for the next year.  You may ask, ‘What does that mean for me?’ The answer is:

 

  • Weekly email updates on all of the upcoming events and service projects

  • Open invitation to all LPCA activities

  • Eligibility to serve on the Board of Directors

  • Numerous opportunities to network with an amazing group of people

  • Another location to publish your crazy PC stories

  • Coffee breaks with the LPCA President

 

So what are you waiting for? There’s no absolutely no excuse. Just contact our membership coordinator at larpcv@gmail.com to get signed up.

 

Also, take advantage now of the following special offer by the National Peace Corps Association.

 

1.    Free membership to all serving Peace Corps Volunteers – This membership, good for two years, can be activated online by PCVs in the field.
2.    The “first year free membership” (for those back from their volunteer service within the past year) is replaced with “first time free membership” – Any RPCV who has never been a member before may join for one year for free.  (Note: as the first year back is still a transition year, serving PCV members in #1 above would still receive the first time free membership after their PCV membership.)

 

For details, go to www.peacecorpsconnect.org.
