As a follow-up to the 25th anniversary, in 2018, of Peace Corps being in
Madagascar a group of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) started
affiliate group planning. Prior to 2019, a Returned Peace Corps Volunteers
Facebook group had already been formed, and combined with a call for interest
through the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) listserv, most
communications about the group forming was sent through the Facebook group.
The newly formed planning group members were formed. After creation of the
group Bylaws, the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Madagascar (RPCVs of
Madagascar) group was officially formed and sought formal affiliation as a
country of service group of NPCA.
The objectives of the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Madagascar (RPCVs
of Madagascar) are:
- To help promote a better understanding of Madagascar on the part of Americans through festivals, school speaking engagements, etc.
- To provide a platform for information sharing with those currently involved in development work in Madagascar.
- To foster professional and social support for group members (including RPCVs who served in Madagascar).
