Welcome to the NORVA web site!

The Northern Ohio Returned Volunteer Association (NORVA) was incorporated in 1979 and is an affiliate group of the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA). The primary goal of NORVA is to provide ways for returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCV's) to fulfill the Third Goal of Peace Corps, "To bring the world back home." Membership in NORVA is open to RPCV's, family and friends of current and returned members, VISTA volunteers and any other interested community members.

Throughout the years, NORVA has been involved in a variety of activities that foster better understanding of international issues; provide and support educational programs in the community about developing nations; offer volunteer assistance in our local communities; maintain connections with current Peace Corps projects throughout the world; create opportunities for returned volunteers to exchange information and ideas, and to network with each other.

We hope that you will take a moment to explore this site and familiarize yourself with the many ways that NORVA works to "bring the world back home." Please consider how you might be involved with NORVA, either through participation in any of our activities or by using NORVA as a resource for your community organization or school. If you are not already a member, please consider joining us!
