ABOUT CORPSAFRICA
Founded in 2011, CorpsAfrica provides the opportunity for Africans to be “CorpsAfrica Volunteers” in
their own countries. These “CorpsAfrica 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. CorpsAfrica 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. For more information
