Global Allies Program: Partners Ending Poverty with RESULTS
Global Allies Program: Partners Ending Poverty with RESULTS (or GAP) aims to train and engage Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) in advocacy that will have impact, and to connect RPCVs to like-minded and experienced advocates in the RESULTS grassroots network. We’d also like to work with RPCVs to make connections to local diaspora communities to strengthen our influence on issues that matter to their home countries. RESULTS will help you improve your advocacy skills, support the second and third goals of the Peace Corps, and create a connection with people from other countries here in the U.S.
RESULTS, through GAP, is an official affiliate group of the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA). NPCA is the nonprofit alumni network at the center of a vibrant community of over 230,000 people who share the Peace Corps experience. NPCA champions lifelong commitment to Peace Corps ideals by connecting, engaging, and promoting its members and affiliate groups as they continue to make a difference in communities in the U.S. and abroad. NPCA is also dedicated to advocating for, contributing to, and supporting the betterment of the Peace Corps. Visit NPCA’s website to learn more: www.peacecorpsconnect.org.
If you are RPCV passionate about the country that you’ve served in and the work you’ve done as a Peace Corps Volunteer in global health, education, and/or economic development, the Global Allies Program: Partners Ending Poverty with RESULTS (GAP for short) will provide you the advocacy skills and connections to continue to make a difference.
