We are an affiliate of the National Peace Corps Association and on our way to becoming an officially registered non-profit organization based in Washington D.C. Finally current and future PCVs in Guyana won’t have to ask, “Why isn’t there a Guyana group on NPCA’s affiliate list?”

Our service won’t stop at putting an end to this question. We will actually be creating a new question in the minds of current volunteers: “How can the Guyana group help me and my community?”

A general answer to this question is that FROG will be providing assistance in the form of small grants and resources to support community driven projects that volunteers are involved in. In addition to this we will be conducting Guyanese cultural events and awareness activities in the U.S., both as a part of the Third Goal of Peace Corps and as a means to strengthen support for the people of Guyana.

I look forward to hearing from other RPCVs, both those we know and those who served before us, in addition to any other interested persons who would like to get involved.

Mission Statement:

Friends & RPCVs of Guyana is a non-profit, service based organization dedicated to supporting education, health, social, economic, and environmental programs in Guyana through a network of RPCVs, Guyanese nationals, Guyanese-Americans, and all others concerned and interested in the Guyanese Community.
