We encourage all RPCV's and staff to join the NPCA because Friends of Ecuador is an affiliate group of the NPCA. We receive a portion of your NPCA membership dues. More than that, we are hoping through our efforts to strengthen the NPCA so that it becomes a stronger voice for RPCV interests including advocacy for development. A stronger NPCA will mean that the concerns of poor countries around the world will be better represented.

There are other benefits to becoming an NPCA member. These include:

• Subscription to Worldview Magazine
• Free membership in one affiliate group
• Free participation in our programs: Global Teachnet, Emergency Response Network, Advocacy Network, Peacebuilding
• Subscription to alumni newsletter 3/1/61
• Discount on NPCA merchandise and conferences
• Special service project travel opportunities
• Special short term travel insurance
• Discount on the Hospitality Network (a network of RPCV/staff hosts throughout the country)
• Eligibility for scholarships
