CorpsAfrica recruits
and places ambitious young Africans in rural, underserved communities in their
own countries to apply their education, build their critical thinking and
problem-solving skills, and venture beyond their comfort zones to learn about
their countries and about themselves. They facilitate small-scale, high-impact
projects identified by local community members, to fulfill key needs and whose
impact and success can be carefully measured.
CorpsAfrica Volunteers come from diverse backgrounds,
experiences, and education including agriculture, gender, health, education,
water and sanitation, environment, business, engineering, peace studies,
language studies, as well as many others. All Volunteers must have a college
degree or equivalent experience, and most Volunteers join CorpsAfrica with
experience in the social sector and designing, implementing and monitoring
projects.
The additional (and essential) skills that Volunteers need
for their service–including community integration, proposal development, and
project design and management–are taught as part of CorpsAfrica’s expert
training program.
