About Founder's Day

The 2004 Founder's Day Dinner and silent auction celebrates the 25th anniversaries of both the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) and Chicago Area Peace Corps Association (CAPCA).

The NPCA is a national leader in training teachers to become global educators. Through the Global Teach Net program, NPCA trains teachers and provides materials for them to create global education activities in their classrooms. NPCA also supports small business projects in developing countries through the NPCA Microenterprise Program.

CAPCA supports Peace Corps Volunteers in the field through the Peace Corps Partnership Program, including recent projects in El Salvador, Guinea, Ghana, Guatemala, Dominican Republic and Morocco. CAPCA recently supported a youth cultural exchange trip to Ghana, bought computers for a lab in Romania, and underwrote the construction of community water tanks in Kenya.

Your contributions to this year's Founder's Day will enable us to support these worthwhile global projects throughout the year.
