Life After Peace Corps: One Month as an RPCV As of today, I’ve officially been an RPCV for one month—and wow, how much life has changed since my initial interview here.

One month post-Peace Corps and Bianca is still living in Thailand—and still in service.

Bianca wrote a reflection on what Year 2 taught her, the hard stuff nobody talks about (like mental health and post-service stress), and how she ended up at a human rights NGO.

As an RPCV who served in The Gambia well before FGM was banned, I am so delighted and proud to see a Gambian WOMAN make Time's 100 Most Influential People list!

While DOGE invades Peace Corps offices and Trump works to ban Gambians, RPCVs won't give up.

U.S. Peace Corps says Musk's DOGE has arrived at its HQ Members of Elon Musk's cost-cutting team arrived at Peace Corps headquarters in Washington, the agency told Reuters, a signal it could become the latest U.S. government agency to face job cuts.

#RPCV here. Hands off, #DOGE. Peace Corps is the one bright shining example of America’s soft power that we have left. #resist

DOGE arrives at Peace Corps, is set to gain access to internal systems: Sources Members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency arrived at the Peace Corps headquarters on Friday to begin a review of their internal systems, sources said.

Appalling. Not surprising.

Doge eyes cuts to Peace Corps with in-person visit and records access Agency that sends volunteers to countries around world expects ‘additional visits’ from Musk cost-cutting team

As a #RPCV, I've been apprehensively anticipating this news.

I'm going to lose my f**king mind if they touch the Peace Corps. Cuts will put volunteer safety at risk and a USAID-style dismantling would be a middle finger to the ideas of peace and intnt'l cooperation. All for 0.007% of the US budget. $430M/year. #RPCV #Honduras www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Peace Corps week has come and gone, but it was not a peaceful week. I hope that future Peace Corps volunteers also get the chance to become part of the #rpcv community. Especially grateful this year to be an #rpcv #happybirthdaypeacecorps

#PeaceCorpsWeek 2025 is coming to a very unpeaceful end. My wish is that future volunteers get a chance to be part of the Peace Corps family. Today I’m grateful to be a #RPCV

Happy Peace Corps Week!

So it’s Peace Corps Week!
I’m really trying hard to stay positive with the general state of things, so I need some uplifting anecdotes and stories.
If you are an RPCV or currently a volunteer, tell me something you loved about your service.

What’s next? Calling home Peace Corps volunteers? #RPCV 90-92 #Cameroon

Oh girl, we’re ready #RPCV

#PeaceCorps volunteers are being told they have no funding - esp for HIV/AIDS education and agriculture.

PCVs in some countries are being told they’re being sent home.

The Peace Corps is some of the best PR the US has.

Heartbreaking. 💔

Hey #RPCV community, any ideas on how Trump’s cuts are impacting the #PeaceCorps? I’m not seeing anything specific, but all this #USAID nonsense…

I took this oath as a Peace Corps volunteer. It never expires, and has never meant more to me than it does now.

Where you at, #RPCV ‘s?
