“…When young Africans in Morocco, Senegal, Malawi, and Rwanda ask if they can serve like Peace Corps Volunteers, we can now answer, “Yes.” We started CorpsAfrica in Morocco in 2013 with seven volunteers and we now have almost 200 alumni in four countries and 75 more about to start their service. When we expanded beyond Morocco, we began inviting volunteers that had successfully “COSed” to serve again in other CorpsAfrica countries…”
CorpsAfrica addresses two of Africa’s most difficult challenges: engaging youth and helping rural communities overcome extreme poverty. We recruit and train motivated volunteers to live and work in rural, under-resourced 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 communities to help each other.
