Applications are open for the CorpsAfrica Volunteers Program 2025-2026. CorpsAfrica recruits and places ambitious young Africans in rural, underserved communities in their own countries to make a real difference while applying their education. Serving with CorpsAfrica helps you build critical thinking and problem-solving skills and venture beyond your comfort zone to learn more about your country and yourself. CorpsAfrica Volunteers lead small-scale, high-impact projects identified by local community members to address key needs, with measurable results that show real community change.
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 prior experience in the social sector and designing, implementing, and monitoring projects.
To prepare for this important work, CorpsAfrica provides expert training that teaches essential skills like community integration, proposal development, and project design and management. Serving with CorpsAfrica is a unique opportunity to grow as a leader, create a lasting impact, and be part of Africa’s future.
