What are my Membership options?
Short Answer: Yearly membership ($20/year) and Lifetime membership ($200)
Long Answer: Both styles of membership are highly encouraged and get you the chance to vote in our elections and discounts on IPCC swag. Yearly membership may be secured for the low, low price of $20 per year. A lifetime membership, reserved for the most discerning of RPCVs, is a one time fee of $200.
In the spirit of inclusivity, we welcome everyone. Anyone may join us at anytime for events, regardless of if you are a paying member, a non-paying member, or just lost and thought we would be a fun group to hang with, which is a very valid reason.
If you would like register as a member (paying or non-paying) please tell us a little about your lovely self via our IPCC survey.

who the heck are we?
The Indy Peace Corps Community was created to connect potential, current, and returned Peace Corps Volunteers located in and around Indianapolis. This group is ever-changing and improving. We're always open to new ideas for events, service projects and fun things to do around the city. We strive to be culturally-competent and remain active members in our communities.
The IPCC provides a social network (both virtual and in person) for RPCVs, prospective volunteers, invitees and others. It speaks and acts as a resource for groups and classes interested in volunteering, traveling and hearing about our experiences as volunteers. We also support Indianapolis through smart volunteerism, advocating in support of Peace Corps and other just causes, as well as mentoring potential Peace Corps Volunteers.

I want a profile!
So you wanna have a profile on our website? Become a member!
who is free?
Recently returned volunteers have automatic membership status for the 12 months immediately following their return. For example, if a PCV returns in April 2018, s/he does not have to pay for their profile or membership until March of 2019. The free membership is the IPCC's thank you to our local volunteers.
No worries if you do not want to become a paying member after your year of free membership is up, but please do tell us a little about your lovely self via our IPCC survey.
