Abstract: To better serve the Returned Volunteer population and support the Third Goal, 3GL has developed an RPCV Portal that allows Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) to update their contact information, share stories, request official documentation, view their service history, and enroll in outreach and marketing campaigns. The RPCV Portal can only be accessed by Volunteers who have completed their Peace Corps service; neither current Volunteers, Trainees, applicants nor other members of the public will be able to access the system

Short Statement: To better serve the Returned Volunteer population and support the Third Goal, 3GL has developed an RPCV Portal that allows Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) to update their contact information, share stories, request official documentation, view their service history, and enroll in outreach and marketing campaigns. The RPCV Portal can only be accessed by Volunteers who have completed their Peace Corps service; neither current Volunteers, Trainees, applicants nor other members of the public will be able to access the system. To build a robust alumni network, it is essential that Peace Corps maintains accurate and up-to-date contact information for RPCVs. RPCVs can access their contact record in Returned Peace Corps Volunteer database securely through the RPCV Portal, and are able to make changes and submit requests at their convenience. Changes made through the RPCV Portal are reflected immediately in the database. The RPCV Portal also allows RPCVs to access Peace Corps information and services outside of business hours, and does not require staff time to manually verify or process these requests.
