Entrepreneurship Incubator
The Entrepreneurship Incubator is a fully funded program of the Alumni Network providing high-level business training and seed funding to CorpsAfrica alumni. The program leverages the impact of CorpsAfrica service into important, long-lasting jobs that bring social good and substantive, bottom-line value to communities across Africa. The CorpsAfrica service experience creates an entrepreneurial ecosystem for Volunteers conducive to developing start-ups and innovative projects within the Entrepreneurship Incubator Program.
Youth employment is a priority issue for all African countries. Every year millions of young Africans enter the job market. Many countries’ conditions for entrepreneurship provide a significant opportunity to improve. Young people need training, coaching, networking, and, most of all, financial support. CorpsAfrica Volunteers and alumni are recognized for their commitment to community development, leadership, and social entrepreneurship in Morocco, Senegal, Malawi, Rwanda, Ghana, and Kenya. The program ensures alumni can pursue ambitious goals and successfully launch their careers following their service

Support Our Work
CorpsAfrica addresses two of Africa’s most difficult challenges: creating opportunities for youth and helping rural communities overcome extreme poverty and build resilience. We recruit motivated volunteers to live and work in remote, low-income areas in their own countries. They collaborate with the community to design and implement small-scale projects that address their top priorities and by doing so gain the skills and experience that lay the foundation for personal and professional success.
CorpsAfrica trusts youth and rural communities to help each other.
