Santa Barbara Peace Corps Association
Serving the Community and Peace Corps Volunteers
 

 

Welcome!
The Santa Barbara Peace Corps Association (SBPCA) is a network of returned Peace Corps Volunteers living in the Santa Barbara area whose purpose is to promote:

- understanding toward the diverse ethnic and culture groups around the world
- self-help among developing nations within a sound environmental framework
- projects for international peace and protection of human rights
- Peace Corps ideals while providing local activities and fellowship for our members

SBPCA members also volunteer locally to support Peace Corps' third goal
...bringing the world back home!
