ABOUT CORPSAFRICA Founded in 2011, Corps. Africa provides the opportunity for Africans to be “Corps. Africa Volunteers” in their own countries. These “Corps. Africa Volunteers” receive development training and learn about the variety and work of NGOs in their country. Volunteers then move to high-poverty communities, where they facilitate meetings to help local people determine priority needs and bring in regional NGOs to help design and implement projects that address those needs.

The Volunteers then perform a comprehensive impact evaluation analysis to serve as a model for future projects. Corps. Africa aims to create a culture of public service within developing nations by allowing participants to apply their skills and energy toward helping their fellow citizens overcome extreme poverty.
