 In 2009, the National Peace Corps Association launched Peace Corps Connect', a website and online social networking platform to help current and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers connect with each other and share ideas about projects, events, careers, and advocacy issues.The same year, NPCA launched Africa Rural Connect, its online collaboration space that brings together those who have lived and worked in Africa – including the African Diaspora, rural farmers and Peace Corps volunteers – to discuss solutions to agricultural challenges in sub-Saharan Africa.Throughout its history, the NPCA has endeavored to hold an annual event, ranging from large conferences and celebrations for major Peace Corps anniversaries to annual general meetings to satisfy bylaws requirements.
