CorpsAfrica
CorpsAfrica Volunteer
Description
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.
Applications for the 2025-2026 service year are open for Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Morocco, and Senegal through April 30, 2025. The applications for Rwanda and South Africa will open on May 1, 2025.
Think you have what it takes but not sure you check every box? Research shows that while men apply to roles when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women often only apply when they meet every requirement. If you are hesitating, apply!
